- 5 years later -

"and I always knew that there are things that I'd never know
until I've met you in person and gotten to know you better that way.
which is why I said what I said five years ago and hurt you.

(...)

you asked about what I thought of 'us', and I said that
I couldn't consider you as more than a friend...
even though I felt very different.

I felt bad as soon as I said it.

I really liked you but I was too afraid.
when I said I didn't like you...
I lied.

I was too uncertain.
I felt bad for lying to you and for hurting your feelings...
for a long time."


.... better late than never.
