Stop. Stop thinking about him. He doesn't like you. He's just a nice person who doesn't flirt with you. It's all in your head. None of it is real. Forget him. He has a girlfriend.

It felt like my heart had stopped and my world came crashing down on me. The words 'he has a girlfriend' echoed in a whisper tone in my brain. My friends words started replaying in my head.

'Yeah, did you not know that he had a girlfriend?'

'I think she's definitely the one for him. She's his forever.'

'They're perfect together.'

It was all like a knife to the heart, a cut to my throat. These feelings just coming back to me in flashes.  It's almost like everything I've ever known was a lie, and i felt played in a way. I was mad, upset but most of all, I was hurt.

Obviously I can't help the fact that he has a girlfriend, but a part of me thought that there could've been something between us, something real and something great. But no, instead I'm sitting here, thinking about us, thinking about the little things.

He's my best friend and it sucks that I had to fall for my best friend, and it sucks that I have to watch him love somebody else, while I pretend that the love I feel for him, doesn't exist.

Unrequited love is horrible, but i never asked to fall in love with him; I never wanted to ever fall in love with him, but it happened.

Everyone is always going on about how his girlfriend is extremely beautiful, and i can't help but to think about how she's everything that I'm not. She's absolutely perfect and gracious, she's everything he could ever want, and everything he deserves.

But he's happy, and even though it's not with me, he's happy; and if I really loved him, I should be happy for him. Right?
