You were his best friend, and you still are. He suffered many losses, but only you were there to help him heal. Over time, you both fell in love, but you preferred to remain friends. "Have you ever loved someone?"

I asked you innocently while we were both lying in a park under a tree, and you answered yes, you had loved a man with all your heart, but deep down you felt you could never be with him. "How I wish I were that man..."

I'm whispering on purpose to see if you might reciprocate someday. "Would you try to love again...?"

He took your hands in his while removing his mask and looked you in the eyes with a smile.
