A year back, we started out as friends, became best friends, everything was so simple, so easy, I developed somewhat of a love for him 6 months back, but never expressed it in fear of pushing him away. I hid it knowing there was no chance for me and him together (heck, I always viewed him as a brother), but I always cared more, I asked about him more, I’ve always been the one to patch things up when they got tense despite it being his fault, to sum it up, I’ve always been there for him, and him not as much. I feel my heart clenching when I think of the pain it causes me, the hurt I feel cannot be described. I was stupid enough to tell him about it 3 days ago, he was shocked, and saddened that that’s how I felt (cuz he’s been through “one-sided-love” as well, and it breaks him) I wasn’t heart-broken, not even slightly because it was no surprise. I’ve always told myself being friends is better than nothing at all. Telling him was worth taking the chance, I mean, who knows, he probably had a crush on me too… But I was mistaken, instead of it bringing us closer together, I feel that I truly have scared him away. I’ve been feeling really down for the past 3 days, and he hasn’t asked about me once. My throat is tight with pain the whole day, I cry myself to sleep, and my heart is aching. Because I’ve always CARED more, and I’m getting nothing in return.
