I mean it when I say that I’ll wait forever and if it never happens it wouldn’t change how I feel about you. I shouldn’t think about it. I feel disgusting.”]

But the truth is, I would do absolutely anything to be with my best friend. I want to kiss her, hold her waist, look into her big brown eyes and have her give me that same look she’s given me before. I want her to tell me she loves me right back. She’s taken and happy with her boyfriend now, though. But every time my girlfriend kisses me, or holds my hand, I nearly call her the wrong name. I have no idea what to do.]
