Staring straight in my eyes she asked me " why do you like me??"
I took a deep breath before answering her.
"Um!
I know you asked me that before too. But I deliberately avoided it. Because I didn't like that question. But it's truly a rational and valid question.
So I would answer it.
I liked your straightforwardness.
Eventually I liked your voice too. That's too sweet.
Also you appreciate others' arts.
You also care for the people and don't hesitate to say sorry when it's your mistake.
Also you have a courage to fight for yourself. You are bold and courageous. You can handle situations on your own.
You want to be an independent too.
You care for your parents.
You are very picky, not like others going after guys constantly.
You are understanding.
You have got a good heart.
There must be many other things I liked in you.
But these qualities may be found in other girls too, maybe not all together, but some at least. So what's the difference? Maybe it's just habit we built speaking with each other for long. And I felt attracted towards you. Or maybe I have truly some connection with you. I don't know exactly. That's why I was taking my time. And I only wanted to express my feelings some day when I become confident and sure about it after we meet, we spend time together face-to-face, we know each other more and better. And see I haven't even told you straight forwardly anything until now. I mean I didn't propose you. I just wanted to know your opinions first. That's why I was giving hint and asked you indirectly. You gave me very good suggestions, shared your opinions. I liked that too in you. I also don't wanna hurt you. My journey is so different in my life. I can't make anybody wait for me for long until I settle in my life. Then it may turn into a mess. But I genuinely felt for somebody after so long. That's why nothing else. And see I haven't proposed you yet. So don't think I'm pretty fast. All those things are responsibility. I like to take it till the end, not temporary purposes. I do take time to know people better.
In the future, I don't know what I will feel. But I'm pretty honest and straightforward. So I'll say it if and only if I felt like."
But we still are friends. You are a great person to be friend of. I would love to be your friend!
You are lively and chill person. It would be great fun and memorable to live and enjoy the moments with you. Looking forward to it. And we'll definitely do fun when we all meet.
So please don't let our friendship break for any reasons.
