I saw it's been a while since I wrote here. It's mostly because I've been trying to process stuff... Things, thoughts, feelings, family... I think I've managed to sort some things out but a lot of the bad things still remain in my mind.
There's something I have been wanting to tell someone but have been afraid of what people might say, but it has come to a point where I really need to put this off my chest and I hope that whoever reads this wont judge me too hard.
I have a boyfriend since many years back and we live together. But the thing is that I have a friend since junior high whom I think I've always had been having a crush on. I'm not sure if my friend even realize that I have feelings for him. Junior high has been what... 10 years ago almost? Is it still a crush if it's been that long? I don't think I love my friend. We flirt, we have fun but I don't think it's love. However, I love my boyfriend and I don't want to hurt him in any way. I know I can't have both cakes, in a perfect world I would. Maybe I have an imaginary picture of my friend. But lately I've realized that the features my boyfriend has are very similar to my friend. They like the same kind of sports, they're both very intelligent, they have similar smiles. This made me feel a little bit uneasy after I've realized that. Did I choose someone similar to my friend in order to have the feeling that I'm with him?
Me and my friend can never be, that's as much as I've realised since junior high. We live on different continents now and I'm not even sure if he's still the same charming guy as I've remembered him to be. I just don't know... it's so difficult.
Love,
Paeonia
