I’m bisexual, and I have a huge crush on my best friend. She’s beautiful, smart and down right perfect. She’s had a lot of issues in the past: self harmed for years, attempted suicide and had a little big of a drug problem but she’s past most of that now. She thinks that I’m straight, and doesn’t realise that every time I tell her I love her, I really and truly mean it. All of my friends think I’m straight, come to think of it. I’m too scared to tell anybody for fear that they’ll judge me or think I’m saying it for attention so I just keep quiet. I hate attention. I’d rather stay in the shadows and think about her. She has a girlfriend, and although I’m happy for her, it kills me to know that this other girl doesn’t know what an amazing and beautiful woman she has hanging off her arm. I just wish I could come clean and tell her, but I know she doesn’t think the same way and it would ruin our friendship.
