Don’t get attached
You know it’s not like that
You know that’s not how he sees you
You’re not pretty enough
You’re not tall enough
You’re not slim enough
You’re not even any fun tbh
Why would you think he’d want you?

But just...
I thought maybe... maybe there was something there...
The slight prolonging of contact
When we stood a bit too close
Mm... how soft and warm you felt...
I think you make me feel safe
I’m comfortable
I don’t have to hide
I don’t have to change
And... that seems to be enough for you

But don’t get attached.
It’s not like that.
It will never be like that.
Don’t let yourself believe it.
Don’t let yourself feel it.
Because honestly
You might be a good friend for him
But you’re not enough to be more
Maybe I need to be honest with myself about what I want... perhaps his feelings are an excuse to hide from myself....
