You were just another stranger I see every Sunday at church. Then, I knew you as just another person serving with my brother at church. Afterwards, you became the suitor of my friend. Yet, you were also my suitor's friend. 

We've been acquainted in so many different ways but not one of those connections I met you through worked out in the end. But still you remain, you became my best friend. The kind of guy bestfriend that I used to read on books. The best friend who became my automatic plus one in any event I was invited to. We were always mistaken as a couple yet we knew to ourselves that we weren't. 

I honestly thought that we'll be friends until the end. But we didn't. Telling you that I miss you would be an understatement when I feel so much worse. I believed that no tragedy could ever withstand the friendship we built.

But everything crumbled when she came along. You chose her over me, your best friend. You chose love over friendship. I am proud to see that you became the man every girl dreams of having.

Yet, you disappointed me for being the friend I didn't deserve.
