He's smart. He's funny. He's cool. He's sensitive. And most of all... he's very good looking. Almost like me, but not not quite. (Kidding!) In short, Simon is the typical guy that any woman can easily fall in love with. If he does the right move and say the right words at the right time, no woman would say no to him. Simon, my friend, is every simple and ordinary woman dreamed of.
Everybody thought Simon has a perfect life. He's got a great family too that support him all the way. Many girls I secretly had crush on told me that Simon is their common secret crush.
I envied Simon. I secretly hated him too. He's just too smart and attractive to women. How I wish I was Simon. I'd be the luckiest guy in the world. Imagine, all of my crush had crush on him. Ouch!!!
One day, Simon confessed to me. He told me he envied me. He told me I got everything he dreamed in this world, literally. He is in love with me. He said.
I was dumbfounded. Simon is gay!
I was not able to say a word to him. I just stood and walked away, leaving him hanging and hurting.
He was a friend. He still is. But I'm too shallow to comprehend his point of view, by liking me, wanting me and loving me. I couldn't say a word or answer him. Im too shock. I looked at him as the perfect guy in the world until he told me Im the perfect guy to him.
Simon is the main character of the Movie I watch last night. A movie that opened my eyes.
I had too many "Simon" friends before and until now. They are mostly the kind of person I described in my first paragraph. They were mostly perfect.
Sadly, I failed them.
I was too ignorant to appreciate their admiration, appreciation and love in me. All they need is a love and understanding.
To all my "Simon" friends out there, I apologize. I didn't realize you were all perfect as I previously thought. I was just too ignorant to appreciate your world.
I encourage everyone to watch the movie "Love, Simon".
Love,
Jun
