Mmhhh this sounds amazing! One thing I’ve learnt is beautiful friendships are ruined by feelings of wanting to be closer.. ironic though isn’t it? How the thing that stops you being closer is the feeling/desire of wanting it more.. without it, you would naturally grow closer but with it, it does the opposite. (Sorry for the cynicism)
But he sounds like a great guy, people like that make you want to get out of bed and be happy no matter what
