I saw a girl on the very first day of college, and I started liking her from that day. I used to sit at the back and quietly admire her. After a couple of weeks, I approached her for help with some assignments, and that’s how we started talking. Slowly, we became really good friends. We used to hang out a lot and talk all day and night.
Over time, my feelings grew stronger. What started as friendship turned into something serious for me—I began thinking about a future with her. After building up the courage, I finally told her how I felt and said that I loved her.
She replied that she could never marry someone who was just a friend to her and that she didn’t feel the same way. I accepted her answer.
Now the hard part is dealing with this situation while being in the same class. Every time I see her, all the memories we created together come back, and it’s not easy to move on.
