Why is it so hard for me to not be around you? Why is it so hard for me to admit that I love you? We have been friends for seven years and I've told you everything except this secret. The fact that I love you. With all my heart. I tried to fake it, and say I loved Carl, but it didn't work on you, because you can read me like a book. You asked me out in July and I said no, because I thought it would ruin our friendship. Now, I think of you in a completely different way. I love you. But it shall never be, because you love my sister, and my sister loves you. I shall never keep you away from her, because, more than anything in the world, I want you to be happy. You can talk to me about anything, I'll be there to support you. The one thing that gets me through every tough week is knowing that I will see you on a Friday night. I love you. Three words...yet so hard to say. I just had to let that out. No hate posts. Please. Thank you.
