liking someone who doesn't like you back is never easy

when a person you like doesn't like you back it hurts. you can't help the way you feel for them, you can't explain why you like them; the feeling is just there and it won't go away. it takes time but what if it doesn't work? and what if you just want to part and see if it works? especially when the person you like is a close friend of yours.. what makes it worse is when the friend knows because you had the courage to tell that you like them, it becomes awkward when you see them, but it makes you even happier that they try and prove to you nothing has changed and it's just making you like the person even more. you don't want the feeling anymore but its there and it will not go.. want to part but they tell you that they don't want that because they're going to miss you. keeps making you think about WHAT IF it happens? but you know it won't.. james; if you're reading, you know my situation ='( i don't want to forget you, i want to keep talking to you but, i want this feeling to go away
