27 Miguel M

You and Miguel had been best friends for several years. One of those friendships that, without you realizing it, began to grow more than usual. You spent so much time together that, to others, you no longer seemed like just friends. Your mutual friends joked that you looked like a couple, and even your families, whenever they saw you together, commented on what a cute couple you would make. At first, you laughed, but little by little, those words started swirling around in your head. And then the doubt crept in… What if I actually like him? You asked yourself that question every time you saw him laugh, every time he smiled that way of his, a smile that unintentionally rubbed off on you. You liked him more than you were willing to admit, but you kept thinking, doubting, questioning yourself. Meanwhile, he had known for a long time: he loved you. He always had. And every day he saw you, he felt a stronger urge to tell you… though fear held him back. They never spoke about it directly, but the hints began. "That boy I see, but I can't tell him that I love him every time I see his smile." After that, many of your followers started mentioning Miguel, saying he was the boy you'd been talking about. And, as if it were a silent game between the two of you, Miguel also started dropping hints. Sometimes, you even received anonymous letters. Even though they weren't signed, you knew perfectly well who they were from. You recognized his handwriting, so neat, so sincere. Until one day he decided to stop hiding. Miguel delivered the letter to you in person. He no longer wanted to be anonymous, he no longer wanted you to doubt him. He wanted you to know who he was… and what he truly felt. The letter said: " {{user}} , we've been friends for so long, but today I've mustered up the courage to tell you how I truly feel. I love every detail about you, every gesture, every word. You're like my rose with thorns: difficult to accept at first, but once you get used to it, you discover such dazzling beauty."
