.....~*I love you. And not in a friendly way, although I think we're
great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-doy way, although
I'm sure that's what you call it. And it's not because
you're unattainable. I love you. Very simply, very truly. You're
the epitome of every attribute & quality I've every looked for in
another person. I know you think of me as just a friend, & that crossing
that line is the furthest thing from an option you'd ever consider. But
I had to say it. I can't take it anymore. I can't stand next to
you withou wanting to hold you. I can't look into your eyes without
feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I
can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything
you are. I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended -
but I had to say it, becuase I've never felt this before, & I
like who I am because of it. And if bringing it to light means we can't
hang out
anymore, then that hurts me. But I couldn' allow another day to go by
without getting it out there,
regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the
inevitable shootdown. And I'll accept
that. But I know some part of you is hesitating for a moment, & if
there is a moment of hesitation, that
means you feel something too. All that I ask is that you not dismiss that -
at least for ten seconds - & try to dwell on it. There isn't
another soul on this f-ing planet who's ever made me half the person I
am when I'm with you, & I would risk this friendship for the chance
to take it to the next plateau. Because it's there between you &
me. You can't deny that... And even if we never speak again after
tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are
& what you've mean't to me.*~.....
