I had this friend who I fell in love with over a long time. I told them how I felt but they didn’t love me the same way I wanted them to. I felt like crap until they told me that I was their best friend and it made me feel a whole lot better. However those feelings still dwell inside of me as much as I don’t want them to, I hate it. I want to be friends without the weird lingering feeling! But how do I overcome this thought? How do I just take away those haunting feelings because literally I feel like we can’t be friends under these circumstances, but I don’t want that. I want to stay friends, but I dont want it to end what we have just because i said something wrong.
