[@meenakshirawat7174]

the best line : and it was just like yeah💜

[@silverlady1955]

I actually do understand that feeling. For two different guys. One was my bff since 2nd grade. I didnt realize I had feelings for him until we started going to different schools. Then the second guy... well we went out a few times, but it didn't work out for personal reasons. But I still feel the same way for him. I think of both of them everyday, missing the first one and being heartsick for the second.

[@mariamkhaled5526]
