What do you think I should do...?
Convo incoming.
Me: you're not usually on this time of night. what brings the princess out of her castle at such an early hour?
Girl: just wanting to pay a visit to my knight in shining armor *kisses*
Me: ^_^
Me: the best answer I could be given
Girl: *hugs tiiiiiiiight*
Girl: how are you tonight?
Me: Curious.
Girl: ???
Girl: about what?
Me: Our... relationship
Me: what am I to you? what are we to each other?
Me: .... that sort of thing.
Girl: that's obvious
Girl: best buds
Girl: someone I can always count on
Me: Your knight in shining armor? :P
Girl: something like that yeah
Me: let me ask you another question, if that's okay with you
Me: what did you dream of last night?
Girl: hmm
Girl: i don't remember my dreams very often.....
Girl: i think it involved ice cream though?
Girl: idk
Me: Ah...
Me: I haven't dreamed of ice cream lately... but I've dreamed about something just as sweet.
Me: I... dreamed about us being a couple last night
Me: I have that dream a lot.
Girl: hmm that's strange
Me: It is?
Girl: dreams are so weird rofl
Girl: so hey. what do you think of the royal baby?
Girl: a real cutie huh?
Me: .....
Me: do you really not understand what I'm getting at.
Girl: no. i understand.
Girl: i was just hoping we wouldn't ever have this conversation.
Girl: I don't want to hurt anyone. But I end up hurting people left and right
Me: ....
Me: I've never felt about anyone else the same way that I feel about you.
Girl: same here
Me: Wait... huh?
Me: Then what was all that about not wanting to hurt anyone?
Me: Do you feel the same way?
Girl: every friendship is unique
Girl: so my feelings for you are different for my feelings from every other friend I have
Girl: you are special to me
Girl: just not in the romantic sense
Girl: if that makes any sense
Girl: am I just babbling?
Me: No. You make sense.
Me: I understand you. ... too well.
Me: But I... there's some things that I don't... understand...
Me: That Valentine's Day card you gave me this year.
Me: You wrote "I love you" and drew dozens of hearts.
Me: That made me think you might... feel the same.
Girl: ah
Girl: I debated whether I should lather you with quite that much love lol
Girl: I wasn't being insincere. I do love you. Just not in that way.
Me: but what about that game of Spin the Bottle we played at that party last year?
Me: you spinned, the bottle fell on me, you crawled up to me...
Me: you kissed me. there was so much passion about it.
Me: that was one of my happiest memories. was that... just... a lie?
Girl: There's always passion behind kisses.
Girl: I love kissing
Girl: ... but that doesn't always mean I love the person that I'm kissing.
Me: ....
Me: please give me a bit of hope here.
Me: I've loved you for six years.
Me: Please don't destroy all that in just six minutes.
Me: Even if it's just a lie...
Me: Lie to me.
Me: Tell me that there's a chance your feelings might change.
Girl: there's no 'might' to it.
Girl: My feelings WILL change.
Me: but you seemed so confident earlier in rejecting me...
Girl: with time, my feelings of love for you deepen
Girl: I care for you more and more with each passing day
Girl: That love will never take the form of romance. It will always, always be 'just' friendship.
Girl: but I think that's quite special in itself, right?
Me: Yeah.
Me: Sorry for the late response. I'm kind of dazed.
Me: Have I... ruined things?
Girl: nah
Girl: this is hardly the first time a friend's fallen in love with me
Girl: okay
Girl: tell me what you think of this
Girl: I will never love you the same way that you love me. The only feelings I will ever hold for you are those of friendship.
Girl: but that doesn't mean our relationship can't be special.
Girl: I'm touched that you care about me so much
Girl: if my presence makes you happy, let's spend all the time together we can
Girl: you will be the first person I come to for advice when life's treating me bad
Girl: you will be the friend I talk to more than any other
Girl: if ever you need a place to stay, you can sleep in my bed right next to me and we'll snuggle together
Girl: we can even be roommates if you want, and talk for hours into each and every night
Girl: that way you won't be 'just' a friend
Girl: you'll be the greatest of all friends. the person who knows me better than I know myself.
Girl: deal?
Me: Sure.
Me: I'm sleepy. Good night.
