I hate this, but I really like it. Everything I feel is contradictory to what I need when it’s to you.
I like you in the best way, the kind where I just want to hug you, cuddle you, exist with you in my arms and I in yours.
I want to hear you breath and just close my eyes knowing it’s the most calm and peaceful I’ll ever be.
When we reconnected after 6 months of nothing and you told me you had/have a crush on me my heart jumped a little, just a little, but a week later when we met up in the freezing cold and I saw you I gave you a big hug and I didn’t want to leave your arms and I didn’t want to let go because it felt beautiful. It confirmed my feelings and I welcomed them. But I know I can’t do anything about them, I don’t have the emotional and mental stability to handle a relationship- without the pandemic never mind with it, I want to start a relationship I can see going to the end, I don’t want a relationship just for the fun of a relationship I want a commitment, a give and take relationship where we grow around one another and at times disagree as everyone does but get through it as I will do my hearts best to always ensure communication is apart of our problem solving as it should. But as I grew confident you grew hesitant, you doubted your feelings and now I feel horrible. For context I have never been in a relationship, never done anything with anyone and that includes the simplicity of a kiss. I’m innocent. He has experience.
Now when this all went down it was a month ago and I have completely shown my set of cards, I like you and meeting up with you made me confident as such, but after just getting off the phone you not only told me you had another guy that had confessed his feelings to you,( and a girl but this guy is very gay) and my insides felt like they were sinking but more like a compression feeling, like it was all crushing together inside me. Not the nicest thing to say the least. And I’m new to all my emotions, I lost pretty much all but my base emotions of sadness, happiness ( nothing extreme as my happiness was momentary and fleeting) and then a few self diagnosed but highly accurate mental health problems too. So I’ve literally not felt this much for a person ever as far as I can remember. And it hurts, that even though I like you I can’t be with you, because not only can I not handle having a relationship but you need time to show you the emotions I already have and that you thought you had which started this whole thing.
It’s like getting a beaten down for doing the right thing. For being a friend.
I just talked to you for 2 hours and 15 minutes and that’s the first time I have facetimed anyone ever in my life. And multiple times I felt like I needed to breathe heavier because I felt it being taken away. And I know that you were also talking to the friend you were playing online with but I just got to see you, for over 2 hours and I never realised until now how beautifully crushing it could feel.
Exhales heavily and shuts my eyes to comprehend the mess I’m in.
