Unrequited: Hinata's Side of the Story

I would never measure up to her. She's way above my league.

Sparkling blue-green eyes, soft and beautiful pink tresses, a strong will and unbreakable determination… How can I possibly compete with that? I, with the soulless white eyes, with the timid and weak demeanor…

Ugly.

But still you never gave a thought about it. You treated me like your own sister.

Although just a sister and nothing more.

All because that space in you heart that I long to be in, already belongs to someone else.

I see that glint of pure adoration shine in those cerulean blue eyes of yours. I see all the laughter, all the teasing and how you two just seem so perfect and happy together. I can't help but be a little bit envious.

If only I wasn't this painfully shy…

If only you knew how I truly felt…

If only…

But don't get me wrong. I'm happy for you. I genuinely am. I wish all the best for you because heaven knows that you deserve it. After all you've been through, you still find a reason to smile and celebrate life… Maybe that's why I like you so much.

And probably one of the reasons it hurts so much.

Because I'd trade anything in the world just to be by your side, but deep down, I know you're better off with somebody else.

Because I try my best not to be selfish…

Because I try my best not to get in anybody's way…

Even if it is in the expense of my own happiness.

But just so you know, I love you. And if by some crazy chance that you will be able to read this entry, please don't feel sorry for me or try to make me feel better… Just let me be for a while.

I know time will come that I'll get over all of this drama. Just don't be surprised if I suddenly fade away…

You never noticed me anyway.
