You had strong feelings for him.
And you really thought he felt the same.
He would cross the line all the time.

He would reach over and grab your hand when you least expected it.
He would hold you close during hugs and take ages to let go.
He would text you about how much he missed you and how he couldnt wait to see you again.
He tricked you into believing he liked you as much as you liked him.
Losing him hurt, even though he wasnt your boyfriend, because you thought you hadmore time.
You werent expecting him to walk away so soon.

You thought he would stick around.
You shared your deepest secrets with him.
More than that, you shared your soul with him.
Losing him hurt, even though he wasnt your boyfriend, because you let your expectations rise too high.
You assumed that, eventually, you two would become a couple.
You thought that he would turn around and admit his feelings for you.
Until your happily ever after began.
You had hypothetical conversations with your friends about what your first date with him would be like.
You might have even gone as far as picturing awedding.
Losing him hurt, even though he wasnt your boyfriend, because he was a good friend.
You still made each other laugh.
You still helped each other through tough shit.
Closer than most friends ever get.
You never took a vacation together.
You never spent the holidays together.
You never even took him to your favorite restaurant.
You feel like you missed out on so much.
Losing him hurt, even though he wasnt your boyfriend, because you still dont understand what happened.
You never received the closure you needed.
You dont have any clue why he sentmixed signalsfor months and then left you without a word.
You just dont understand him.
Losing him hurt, even though he wasnt your boyfriend, because you had strong feelings for him.
And you really thought he felt the same.
