Love between a Man and a Kid

A cliché story of a man falling in love with his bestfriend's little sister.

Not a problem for some, I guess. But this sister of his is way, way younger than us.

A 3-year gap is fine. 5 years? Maybe a bit okay. But 10 years?! It never occurred to me even in my wildest dream.

How could a grown up man handle a situation like this?

Should I let it out in the open and risk my friendship with her brother?

Or let it be kept hidden and locked inside, nourished it, until this emotion devour my whole being?

A kid falling for her brother's bestfriend. A very common story. Pero anong magagawa ko?

It may never be easy falling for a guy 10 years older than me. Being younger might make him think na it's just a fleeting feeling. An infatuation or worse a puppy love.

How can I prove to everyone especially my brother, that what I feel is real?
Should I just forget what I feel and move on?
