To be adored, to be loved...
These are things we want to be. And yet what happens when you are and yet you lack the capacity to love back? Do you pretend and hope that the feelings will resolve themselves into ones that are more appropriate for the situation, or do you just ignore them?
As a very loving person I had never thought that this dilemma would face me. And yet here it is.
A wonderful, intelligent, handsome young man and me unable at the present moment to understand the feelings he so happily shows towards me. I feel like a terrible person. So I get some space and I think about it over and over, nearly all the time actually.
Is it something about him that puts me off? I don't think so.
There is that awful line that men stereotypically use on females 'it's not you, it's me' - but I think that actually applies here. There is something bizarre going on in my mind and I can't explain it because it's never happened to me before.
Maybe this is the problem, maybe I'm just not used to striking gold and so when it is dangled in front of my face I am so confused.
I hope this eases, and I hope it's for the better. I complain about always being the friend, but when someone actually does want me...I want to be the friend?
Conclusion being that I am strange and should be shot.
Good Night
