I think what he wtites is awesome

Nice, thank you for sharing

From a shy guy's point of view I have to say I understand what you were going through. I never had a girl I liked who was my best friend when I was younger, but I did have girls I liked but was too shy to say anything. I have had a few close friends die, as well as personally deal with numerous casual friends and a few relative's deaths when I was a paramedic. Dealing with death is never easy, but dealing with love and death must be nearly intolerable. My ex has cancer, just had surgery, and needs chemo, then hopefully she will be OK. If not then I will have lost my best friend as well. All the best to you my friend. Let's just stick together here at JSH/1+U and help eachother through the rough times. We are one great big family after all.

Understand that this didn't happen to me personally, someone had posted this as a myspace bulletin a while back, and I felt the need to share it with others.

I love you so much right now.


And I don't want more.

Well, he's still a person, so the same still goes and our caring still is important.

Very true, may not be real neccessarily though. But regardless, the lesson to be learned from it still holds true one way or the other.

Bittersweet. A reminder not to allow yourself to get stuck in a rut - but to take the risk - and fly.

The thing about it is, though they did share that bond of friendship together, there was the potential for something deeper then that, as they both had feelings for each other that went beyond being just friends. But it never happened because neither had the courage to speak up about it.

Well then, they were both stupid and got what they deserved. Victory goes to the swift.

I think that's a little bit harsh. It's not always as easy as it may seem to express a feeling like that, especially if you feel the other doesn't feel the same way you do.

A lot of things in life are not easy. That's no excuse for not doing them. if you only do what's easy, you don't get much out of life. It's not harsh, it's life. Nothing good comes easy.

True, but I don't know that one deserves to be called stupid though for missing out.

They are not stupid for missing out, they are stupid for ignoring their feelings and failing to act on them because it wasn't "easy". They are stupid for expecting great things to happen for them while not taking great chances. You get what you give. If you want to sit there and be scared, you can't complain when things don't come your way. You reap what you sow.

Yeah, it shows what can happen if you never take that chance. Can't be afraid to put yourself on the line. At worst you get rejected, at best you get something wonderful out of it.
