I’m freaking out. I don’t know what to say. Because I know how much it hurts when your crush doesn’t feel that way. I’m sorry, but you’re just a friend, and nothing more than that. But how can I speak those words that broke my own heart not too long ago? How can I dare to hurt you in the same way I was hurt? But I can’t lie to you, I can’t say yes. I can’t tell you that I love you. Because I don’t. I’m sorry. I can’t lie to you, that would only hurt you more.
But how can I hurt you? How could I lie to you? I can’t, because no matter what I choose, I know that either way, you’ll be hurt, and there’s nothing I can say that will ease the pain. I know, because I’ve been there. And when I look at him, it still hurts to know he thinks of me as nothing more than a friend. I don’t want to be the source of your pain. But I can’t lie to you.
I don’t love you.
I’m sorry.
I just don’t.
