Everyone wants happiness
No one wants pain
But you can't have a rainbow
Without a little rain

8 years ago, I fell for my closest friend. I didn't confess but I know he knows. We like the same music, talk about the deepest of our personal lives, he even gave me his facebook password, telling me his favorite members of his family down to the hatest. We were young. He would teach me one-inch punch, would ask me to play basketball even tho I don't know how to play. He would teach me how. We laughed a lot because we sat next to each other (we had sitting arrangements) . We change sits every quarter and I would request our teacher to let me sit beside him and strangely, our teacher would always say yes. We were happy. We graduated High school and never seen each other from then. And just last Sunday he sent a sad face in Messenger. It was still dark outside, he said he'd go here and wanna talk. So He walked until the sun went up. We saw each other, he hugged me tightly and said he just want me to be up to date about his life. So yeahh we talked. Like before, we laughed again, talked about his pain and frustrations. He said his ex and present girlfriend knows me. He tells them I'm the one he always talks to about himself. Six years of not being together, I'm surprised that in those years, he was talking about me. You can tell I'm touched that I'm still important to him because I didn't know that he appreciated me that much when we were high school. No, I don't love him anymore. He was my first love. Nothing happened between us but it felt great.

2021 Update: Hi guys! Thanks for the likes! I came back to this comment to say thank you and to say that my first name is Jacquelyn. So yes, I'm not a guy. My nickname is Jacks, Jax, Jaks, etc. However you want to spell it. I'll change my dp so you could see. Kurt, my first love and one of my closest friend that I mentioned above just invited me to overnight swimming but I didn't say yes coz it's pandemic. Kurt and his girlfriend are still going strong and I'm happy for them. Happy new year guys!

i love reading the comments while listening to this song. It makes me sad that not everyone ends up with the one they love but still happy for the lessons and experience.

[arisartates]

When the song title is Happiness but get a sadness vibe while listening to it.

[sofiathefirst]

[kodzukenma]

*I love how the comment section became a room filled with our different stories*

[speed_cubing.]

never dedicate any of your favorite song to the one who's just temporary

[yoheeee]

he was the one who introduced this song to me
unfortunately, he was also the one who let me experience the pain in every line of this song.
hi paw, thank you for the lessons!

"Me and my selfishness. Oh me and myself wish for you nothing but a happy new version of you"

I felt that

saludo sa mga martyr jan. nagkamali ka ng minahal pero di magiging mali ang magmahal. magmahal ka lang tol :))

[alyssareignedita]

Nag fefeeling broken lang naman ako dahil sa comment section😂

[ADrie]

There's this person that we are afraid to lose. That we love the most, trusted the most. Hoping to stay at the end but still having the fear that they might not.

[gia]

listening to this after being friendzoned hurts like hell

[elycamero]

one song can bring back a million of feelings and memories.

[melitahernandez]

still can't believe he left me without confirming what relationship we had

[kyshaestoesta]

and i jus realized that everything he said were there was no response :(((

[hpixel]

Whenever I listen to this song, it reminds me of you. Our memories. Your promises. Your love for me. And this also reminds me how it faded away slowly. I promised that I will always there to love and to support you. And you promised that I will be your last. That we are going to have a happy family. Our dreams will come true. Then one day, everything changed. You slowly giving up on our relationship. You said that it’s not working anymore. I remembered your promise. That you will propose in the right time. In the garden full of flowers. I cried that time. Then you finally left me. I always tell myself it’s going to be fine. My eyes are always tired because of crying. I decided to go for an evening walk at the garden. To appreciate the flowers and the stars. Then I saw you. With another girl. U kneel and propose to her. I saw your smile when she said yes, a smile that I have never seen before. You are so happy with her. I smiled a bit and went back home with tears in my eyes. I have realized that the man who I loved the most is also the one who will break me the most. Realizing all of your promises were made for her and not me.
