When you like someone, and you think everything is great, you feel like you're on top of the world. You feel like nothing could really go wrong or stop you. You're happy, like actually happy and it feels good. You enjoy each others company and you like talking to each other, probably more than you expected. Things seem good and like you can actually make it work.
Then, you realize the timing isn't right. The timing is off, and as much as you wish it wasn't, it is. That's the hardest part because you know you guys would work, really, really well. At first, you try to think of all the possible ways to make it work. You think of all the possible loop holes, only to realize that all of them are not really possible.
Once you have realized that all the possible solutions and loop holes aren't really possible, you start to learn to just accept that the timing isn't right and that is okay. It is a hundred percent okay that the timing isn't right. You begin to accept the fact that the timing isn't right, and that is okay.
You learn that the timing may not be right, but at least you have a friend, or at least one thing is that you need to decide if in fact being just friends is enough.
If you decide that being just friends is in fact enough, and I hope you do because then you at least have that one really great friend that you can count in. Sometimes being friends and learning more about each other rather than jumping into a relationship can be better.
Even if you two remain just friends, in the end, that could be for the best. Then at least you are not just completely giving up and losing someone that is important to you. At least, you have a friend who is super close and important to you.
It sucks, trust me I know, and as much as you wish there could be more things just aren't going to work right now. It's a decision that you must make is it worth it to be "just friends"? Is it worth it to give them their space because the time is not right? How much is it worth it to you? Also, on an important note, could remaining "just friends" hurt you?
Even if you want to remain friends, and as great as it can be, don't be afraid to put yourself first. In a situation like this sometimes we lose ourselves trying to hold on to someone important, and in doing so we begin to lose ourselves. So, not only is it important for you to decide if it is worth it to you, but also you have to decide how much you're willing to risk, and could you end up hurt. Not only could you end up hurt, but if you were to get hurt, is this worth it? If you were to get hurt is it worth it?
If you still think you want to remain just friends, props to you and I wish you the best. Because here's the last thing. Even if the timing is not right, right now... you never know what the future holds.
