Same here.
 So there’s this guy I met online because I was so bored one afternoon of April. I was just laying
that time wandering what to do on my phone. Upon meeting him, I didn’t expected that we would
became really close, be best of friends, be a dearest bestie.

When I got the chance to know more of him, I realized he is like a guy version of me. We really
have plenty of commonalities. Aside from he enjoyed watching Game of Thrones and he likes Ed
Sheeran. I saw how much he loves his family. How much he cares for his sister. I remembered how he
went to her sister’s school to pick her up because she was sick. I remembered how he brought her
sister’s supplies for her recipes. And I remembered how he helped her doing some assignments.

He is really a sweet, caring, wonderful and lovely guy. A perfect best friend material for me.
Well, I also think he is a perfect older brother. Every time I had problems he is always there for me.
When I talk, he listens. When I’m anxious, he is my escape. When I cry, he gives comfort. His purity
unbound, always gives with no take just like a sheer of lightness.

No wonder, there’s no decay about this being. Surely, anyone could fall for him. And I realized, I
am no longer exemption. When this piercing glowed sublime, I was afraid. I don’t want to ruin
friendship. I don’t want to lose him. Because just like everyone else, when someone falls for their best
friend it breaks their bonds. And I can’t afford to sacrifice our friendship for just this mere feeling. And
so, then, I tried diverting my attention to other guys. I tried to like someone. But then you don’t get to
choose who you fall in love with, and most of the time it always chooses the most unexpected. Your
responsibility starts when you start to love them, and that responsibility is to choose them no matter
how difficult the time is. You choose them no matter how blurry the lines are or how obstacles are too
much to handle.

In the end, I keep coming back to him. I know to myself I would always choose him. Always. I
just can’t find his calmness to others which serves as my wake. I know him silently rising within. And I’m
doom. I’m aching to be his spark wanting to reignite him. So he’ll never, have to feel the dark.
