You told me you like me. And I have no doubt you appreciate me a lot. I'm really grateful for you always showing that. But I also remember all the million times you told me you need someone in your life.
I know we are young. Most young people yearn for a romantic partner. Therefore I perfectly understand what you felt. I was the only one who listened to you, who stayed when you most needed it. Now you're thankful for that and don't want to lose me. So you thought you felt love. And maybe you do. But let me tell you you're confused. You don't love me the way you should love your partner. You simply want me. You don't want to lose everything I give you and you want someone like me for forming a couple. You want someone who'll listen to you and support you no matter what. It was a rational decision to fall in love with me; not one taken by your heart.
I hope you can understand that I don't want this. I love you and that's the reason I stay and will still stay by your side. But I don't want to be the only choice you had. I don't want to be that person who were the only one who talked to you and that you now want forever by your side. I don't want someone who loves me when they have no one else and are alone. I will only believe that you really want me when you have more possible love interests and still choose me. But for now, I'm just the best you can get. Or rather, the only one.
So please do me a favour: don't use me to fill that hole in your heart and find the partner you're actually looking for. I don't want to be anyone's you-or-nothing option. Therefore, reflect on what you confessed to me one more time. Stop your mind from thinking you're in love with me and let your heart be patient to find the right one.
