All the laughs, sweet talk, and loyalty started giving me different feelings about you. I opened up my heart to you after being with the wrong guys. I just have that uncertainty about your feelings toward me.

Being your best friend makes me the happiest person in the world. I’m in love with the fact that you can trust me with anything and that I can do the same with you. Whenever you’re down, I’m the first person you turn to and I do the same. You’re always there for me, and I will always appreciate it.

But even though we’re best friends, a relationship might ruin everything.

If things don’t work out between us, there is no way our friendship can go back to the way it used to be. Once you fall hard with someone, there’s no going back. Staying friends afterward would be nearly impossible.

I’ve seen it happen with the people around me. Starting off as friends, pursuing the relationship further, end up dating and falling in love. That sounds great, right? Being with someone who you can trust and tell everything to is wonderful. Then something just happens. They aren’t together anymore and almost 99% of the time, they no longer talk.

I can’t imagine that happening with us. I want to be your best friend for a long time, I can see you in my life forever, but if we were to date, that would just change everything.

I have to stay quiet. For the sake of our friendship, I won’t say anything. I’ll let you talk to me about other girls, give you relationship advice, and even watch you give it your all to win her over.

I can’t risk my friendship with you, not after all we’ve been through. If that means we can’t be together then so be it.

I just hope you know that sometimes there will be times where I might have to distance myself from you so I can try to handle all of this on my own. I know you’ll ask what’s wrong, but this secret, is something I can’t tell you. It’s for the sake of our friendship.
