I still see this wonderful girl all the time who makes me laugh and thinks I’m hilarious, but nothing more will ever come of it and it makes me sad.
It could be worse. You could emotionally force yourself upon her, act like a petulant child when she’s been nothing but courteous towards you, ask for her hand in marriage when you know she won’t give it, go into a tirade when she predictably turns you down, post manifestos about the school grounds on how the two of you are predestined to be together and anyone who comes between you is challenging the will of God Himself, then find yourself completely and utterly estranged from her with no possibility of reconciliation.
Trust me, it’s better to have her in your life as a friend than not at all.
