So let's say I'm a different guy, I'm not like the others.. I was never like the others and that's something I must accept. When I was 13 years old I fell in love with this girl, and she fell in love with me.. we stood togheter for a good long year, and, I don't really know why, how or anything.. we ended up breaking up, I was terribly destroyed. Perhaps we didn't stop talking to eachother (which I thing was even worse), and in some time she went to talk to me and said this words I can remember like it was yesterday "We just have an idea about what we had when we lose it", we ended up coming back togheter, but it didn't last long.. I changed to a different school, didn't really talk to her in a long time, I even stayed with some other girls, but nothing really serious or even close to the love I felt for her.. and recently (after 4 long years) we started talking again.. talking, going out, but nothing farther than it.. and she's that person that with a single word can make your whole day happy, with a single smile can make you smile and feel like your day was worth living for.. still I don't know if I should tell her what I feel, she broke up with her boyfriend like 2 months ago, and due to the fact we're good friends, she told me she still likes him and think about him everyday (which makes me feel sad)... Resuming, I got no clue what to do, I don't know if I should tell her what I'm still feeling, kind scared of her not reacting well to it and still I'd rather be just a good friend than risking it all for something that might just be my crazy mind fooling me... and still, 4 years have passed and I didn't feel what I felt for her for nobody else, not even close to that long lost feeling..
You kind of answered your own question...You don't want to risk losing her as a friend. But personally, I don't think I could keep it in knowing I'm in love with someone who is only a friend.
