Dear Ashton,

For the longest time, you only saw me as a random kid you used to pass by in the hallways and that kid you have History with. I actually accepted that I would never be seen as anything more than that, but fate clearly had other plans for me when it started to mess with our lives. I had become someone familiar to you, and I never would have thought that it would come to this. Ever.

A friend. You called me a friend.

I should have been happy, I knew I should have. I wasn't anything but a stranger to you a few months ago, but now you called me a friend. I used to be okay with just being able to look at you from afar, but now I wanted to be something more.

I wanted to be something more than a friend, even though I knew that I couldn't ever be anything more than that.
