4 years ago, I met this amazing girl whom I quickly developed a crush for. We had a rather crummy way of meeting, but eventually we became friends. A whole series of unfortunate events occurred over the year, with heartaches, laughter, tears, and some traumatizing moments, but she and I became best friends within the year. At this point, my crush for her went from affection to a strong sense of infatuation. I could not get her out of my mind, as hard as I tried. On her birthday that year, she met her most current bf. I was heart broken, and I wanted to die.
3 years later, things have not changed a bit. My feelings however did, and instead of ceasing to nothing, it grew stronger. Just recently, my crush’s bf broke up with her, and genuinely I feel extremely bad. She’s hurt, and I’m doing my best to help her as much as I can as a best friend would. She misses him greatly, and I can see it that it was something meant to be – like something out of a fairy tale. Seeing her hurt from the person she loved, I want them to get back together (because she’s my best friend, and I want her to be happy).
BUT I want to tell her how I feel; Im afraid it’ll ruin things. I’m the only one
who knows about the bad breakup, and I’ve been there since it started. I want to make her happy by comforting her, and trying to get them back together again, but I feel like I’m in love with her, even after 4 years of our best-friendship.
What should I do?
Im sorry that this is a little long, but I don’t know who else to turn to.
