Work Text:
i stared into your beautiful mocha eyes.
you smiled, eyes crinkling shut.
you look absolutely breathtaking.
i felt overwhelmed standing in front of so many people.
you didn't seem anxious at all.
i looked around the room.
so many eyes, staring up at me.
my body filled with nerves as time grew near.
i knew it would only be a matter of time before this was all over.
the deal, sealed.
i tried to even my breaths.
slowly calming myself down.
i looked at you again.
you were looking around, didn't catch my glance.
''you're fine'' i told myself.
''he's right there''
''it'll be done soon''
''then you can relax''
i took in deep breaths.
why am i even feeling nervous?
i should be focusing on being happy right now.
for myself.
for josh.
especially for josh.
the man began to talk.
i wasn't fully listening.
it was all a blur.
until.
''do you take joshua william dun, to be your lawfully wedded husband''
''i do''
she said.
''you may kiss the bride''
i watched josh gladly kiss debby.
i felt a tear slip down my cheek.
of course i was happy for josh.
i love him.
but i never had the courage.
i couldn't bring myself to tell him.
that could've been me.
i really wish that was me.
but not everybody gets their happy ending.
after all.
i'll always just be tyler to you.
your best friend, tyler.
i've never felt such heartbreak.
