Once upon a time, there were a boy and a girl--as it always starts. She liked to play and prank him as a way to kill time; he was also her best male friend (in her eyes). He used to do to her the same she did to him because it was just plain teasing to a friend. 

Note how the "best" wasn't added before the "friend" when talking about his feelings for her--simply because there werent any. 

At the moment, whenever she sees him she feels how her whole day brightens up. As she talks about him, forms a perfect smile, and her heart picks up it's pace whenever she says his name. He sometimes flirt with her, but its because thats his personality; she--I get it. 

I also get that he has a girlfriend whom he has loved for more than 2 years already. I get that I was who "shipped" them into being together. And lastly, I also get that I was who helped him confess to her. 

However, I cannot deny the feelings any longer. I have a huge penchant for him--the strongest of attractions I have ever felt. I don't know what happened, he went from being the image of my little brother at school, to being the image of the guy who I would love to have a relationship with. 

This is my confession, and I do it like this because I know you will never read this.

I know this way I will still be friends with you, and I will be able to love you silently from the sidelines. 

Last week I was complaining on how alone I was and how everyone had a girlfriend/boyfriend but me, and I think I will follow your advise, I will give the other guy a chance to conquer my heart.
