Chapter 12 Prologue: Lina's Thoughts

Love. What a funny word. What is love anyways? Why do I feel so confused? I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, I don’t know where I’m supposed to go. It took me so long to realize that I really really liked you as more than a friend. And today, I found out that I’ve liked you all along. Not a minute passes without a thought of you. I’ve tried so hard to get you out of my head, but it’s just so impossible. I’ve tried hard not to fall for you every time we talk, but I end up liking you even more. Being able to see you for only a few seconds already makes my day, and it’s also enough to turn my whole day around when I’m sad. What’s wrong with me? The way you smile, the way you look at me… I just can’t stop thinking about you. I’ve wanted to tell you that I like you for so long… but I just can’t bring myself to. I’m scared it’ll ruin our friendship. I’m so sure you don’t like me the way I like you, and I’m not asking you to. You’ll just always be one of those people I will never have. I just want to know, if you’ve ever considered liking me as more than a friend, or if even a single thought of me ever crossed your mind. Just knowing that you’ve thought of me at least once is good enough. Then maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to let you go sooner…
