Have you ever fallen for your best friend?
I did.
He was loud, messy, reckless-always with someone new, always breaking hearts, including mine.
But I stayed.
I waited in the background.
I took the photos, comforted him after every breakup, laughed when he laughed, cried when he didn't see me.
I was the backburner.
The secret keeper.
The safe place.
He never chose me. But I kept choosing him anyway.
And then one day, I found a photo...
A candid of me, smiling-genuinely smiling.
Below it, in handwriting I didn't recognize, it said:
"Subject One - R.A."
"He was my first subject.
Not because he was the first person I photographed-
But because he was the first one I loved."
