I saw this one girl on the bus once and oh my lord. But I never talked to her so.

[@destinybrown4087]

I saw this one girl at Kate's skates we didn't really talk but we kind of talked and now I forever hate myself for not getting her Snapchat or something * internal facepalm*

[@cherryrose5753]

I saw this one girl at an ice cream shop. I was with my Catholic youth group, so I decided it wasn't the best idea to ask for her number. I regret it...

[@beeparadise9631]

Did you exhaust the “friend” card? 🤣

[@thebarnwitch7515]

I saw this one girl on the beach but I was to shy to go talk to her

[@beeparadise9631]

There’s this one girl that’s been my best friend for 2 years and 😍 but too shy ya know

[@imwatchingyousleep]

I actually loved the last scene. shows how us poets are so day-dreamy and idealistic and makes this a unique story without being too over the top.

I read that title as ”Have you ever been in a LGBTQ+ Short Film”

tooooo perfect, almost like its fictional! a daydreamers poem

[@littlelizard6136]

This has to be when of the cutest and saddest LGBTQ+ short films that made me cry.

[@imogenhenderson2418]

That kiss after the poem was exactly like my first kiss. Love the video! Spreading LGBTQIA+ is great especially in the form of KZbin videos because everyone is always active on the platform.

[@makaylaolson3523]

The worst kind of love. The love u can't have the one that will always be in ur head all the things you'd done together but you'd never really know,,💔

[@jadenbrooks4284]

fell in love with the straight girl Dame that sucks. I've been there except her name was Devon

[@varuna444]

Felt in love with a now straighty She loved me a year ago and were bisexual and I loved her too but didn't know she loved me too. Now she's straight and says it was a phase. Kinda sad..

[@jadenbrooks4284]

@@varuna444 wow I guess we both got hit with the it was just a phase when we know that it was not but the other just couldn't accept it. all I can say is hang in there I know you're other half is out there just waiting for u to find them like mine. no matter how much you are hurt from this you will find that one and when u do u never let them go because all the pain u went through to get to them will be worth it in the end

Jaden Brooks I’ve been in love before with multiple straight girls. I’m just waiting for the next girl to love me back.

[@jadenbrooks4284]

@@abbynation1809 just be patient it might not seem like it now because everything is not going the way u would like but your other half is out there going through the same thing and wondering if thay will find the right one to. just don't lose hope and I'm sure you will cross paths it might not be as fast as u would like it to be but when it does happen the wait will be worth it I promise

[@rainysyoutube2573]

I watched this a long time ago and absolutely fell in love with it. This is the way I think, the way I want to write. When I tried to find it again, I couldn’t place it anywhere. I ran into it again today, two years later. Wow.

[@yagirl9978]

When that guy walked in I was like "who?" And yes I've fallen in love.. Once. Nearly 3 years ago.. Still in love to this day with no chance

[@In_time]

Super “scripty” but lovely story line 💕

[@ladykiwi2946]

I’m on the verge of tears at the part about the otters, for reasons that are too deep to dive into. I’m also a wicked animal lover. This is so beautiful and the woman speaking most of the time has a lovely voice. :) It’s freaky (but in a cool way) how much this sounds like me, just in a different voice -so much thought, detail, love... And heart break. How she forgets how you like your drink order but you always remember hers... Remembering the littlest things... Being unsure which flowers to bring her, so you give her a couple different kinds... Falling in love every day -especially when it’s with someone who doesn’t reciprocate how you feel about them and who is completely unavailable (and and may not know how you feel). To the person who came up with this beautiful work of art (if you’re experiencing what the main character is, and to ladies in the same boat): Girl, I feel you. Every damn day. If you’re lonely, I hope you find happiness with yourself and then with another person someday soon. I hope you have the happiness so many dream of, that makes your heart and soul burst at the seams with peace, awe, and light -the kind of happiness that sets you free. 💓💓👭 This is one of my favorite short films that I’ve seen on here. Very well done and so relatable. This is quality content and the kind I look for when searching for short films. I appreciate how it want overly sexualized and I love how much thought and creativity went into it. Please make more! I wish you a beautiful day. Peace. ✌️🌻♥️🏳️‍🌈 I just have to say this... I think they’re both beautiful. 💓💓

[@szwak49]

Fantastic film! I'm a friend of your dad's and he told me about this. It was so really great. Good luck and continued success! I found the 'practicing jokes' line to be spot on of a situation like this.

[@yahney-marie]

i honestly don’t know anyone in this but excellent filmography, acting, etc. also everyone in this is beautiful. avani is goals

[@thejabberwacky]

moved me to actual tears. this is an absolutely gorgeous film. everyone is heckin gorgeous and talented and wOW. kaya bby keep doin what you're doin because this is amazing

[@Anna-jl7gy]

wow this is the most interesting and beautiful short film I've seen. It took such a twist at the end, so sad but so good. and so real. This film is so beautiful and I, and I know many other relate to the main character every day. Keep creating!

It hurts because the girl with the long hair looks like someone I fell in love with...it kinda hurts....

[@acespade4060]

@Tia Orsini lol yea, that's cool i havent heard people w my name actually.

[@AllieBucky]

In my opinion this is not falling in love. Since this is rather a fantasy than real facts, she has fallen in love with someone in her imagination. Not the actual person. Imagine that she actually goes to this girl and they meet. And after a while of hanging out with her she realizes that this girl has nothing to do with what she'd thought the girl might be. So she has basically fallen in love with an imaginary person. With a fantasy.

[@Kj-2617]

This is deep, I love it. ❤️

[@Jadev9739]

yes, but my love isn't considered "real love"

It’s just showing how you don’t always get a happily ever after.

Well, she's not necessarily straight, just into guys. She could be bi or pan. She was giving me pan vibes tbh.

To answer the question.... yes I did.... I’ve got three crushes on this moment and it’s really frustrating. Two of them are older then me (think about 4/5years) and are never going to be even interested in me in that way..... one is my age and actually I hope likes me back....but I’ve never been in a relationship before so I’m scared.... Pls give me some tips... I don’t know what to do😔 The short film was beautifull by the way! Really well made ! And I hope you all have a great day😚💕
