him…
"When the Light Found Me"
I was just a girl, lost in the middle of a loud world that never really noticed me. Everyone I trusted slowly walked away — one by one, as if I didn’t matter. I felt invisible. Loneliness wasn’t just a feeling anymore; it had become my only companion.
And then... he came.
He wasn’t mine at first. He was just a boy — someone else’s boyfriend, actually — and my best friend. I hated that he had a girlfriend. I hated how much he talked about her. And I hated how it made me feel — like I was just a shadow beside their light.
But he never knew that.
Or maybe... he did.
But still, he stayed. As my best friend.
One day, everything changed. His relationship ended, quietly. No drama, no tears. Just silence. And in that silence, he told me something that shook me more than anything ever had.

“You were my crush back in class 7,” he said.
I laughed. I thought he was joking. I didn’t believe him.
But slowly, his words turned into actions.
The way he cared. The way he looked at me like I was more than just ‘someone’... like I was the only one. The way he said “I’m here. And I’m not leaving.”
And little by little, I started to believe.
He wasn’t just my best friend anymore.
He became the light I never knew I needed.
The one who turned my ‘lonely’ into ‘loved.’
Even when the world forgot me, he didn’t.
He saw the broken parts I tried to hide, and he held them gently like they were something precious.
And now, when I look back, I smile.
Because I was never really alone.
I was just waiting...
For him…
