Just Talks [√]

[ one-sided feelings ]

"You like him?"

A lot.

"Why?"

Because he is his own person.

"How can you say that?"

I just could.

"So, you're serious about this?"

Why wouldn't I be?

"Because maybe you were just fooling around."

I'm not.

"Well, okay. Are your friends okay with your liking him?"

Yes. In fact, they're cheering me on.

"You've got such good friends."

I'm lucky to have them.

"But what about the 'other' guy?"

What 'other' guy?

"The one who's always blowing up your phone."

Oh. We're just friends.

"Really now?"

There's nothing going on.

"No some sort of attachment or something?"

Nope, just pure, plain friendship.

"Not everyone is convinced though."

I don't really care.

"Why not?"

Because it's not like I was born to please others.

"True."

And besides, they've got their own life to deal with.

"That, they have."

Yeah.

"So, there's only one guy?"

Now and forever.

"It's like you're so sure about him being in your future."

I'm seeing him.

"You can't let your expectations get that high."

Why?

"It'll hurt a lot more."

I've been hurt. I've survived. What can this do?

"But you're investing your feelings."

What difference does it make?

"You're laying your heart on the table."

I'm probably giving it away.

"And that's why the pain would be worse."

Well, I probably won't regret it.

Why not?

Because he'll be worth every tear.
