Cy and Dash

For some reason, the bond that existed a lifetime makes us afraid of taking risks. It makes us fear the possibilities of pain and rejection. It makes us hide the truth even with our damned feelings.

"Do you love me?" she asked while looking intently at those lovely and soulful pair of eyes.
"Are you seriously asking me that? How can I not love you? You're crazy but caring. You're feisty but soft deep down inside. Not to mention that I've lived almost every single moment of my life with you." He replied while wearing a truly genuine smile on his lips.
"Is that it?" she asked again with a glint of hope in her stare.
"I have one more reason."
"What is it?"
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because you're my BESTFRIEND."
She looked down and said, "I know. I'm you're BEST FRIEND."

There.
With that last word, she felt the undeniable feeling of pain and rejection again. How can she not feel hurt when she's been in love with her best friend for years now? She has been dreaming of being that girl whom he would cherish for life. But maybe, they're not really for each other. She's fully aware that he will never see her as someone more than his best friend.
