What do you do when someone has taken your heart?

I met this guy and its that thing where you know you have met the right person… like i wasnt phisically attracted to him or mentaly… it was just “it” it was love at first sight…. and I don’t know how to explain it.

I started to like this guy even before i met him, at the moment i saw him i just fell in love… i didn’t even know his name.

Over the next week we started to talk and talk and talk. we became really close friendsafter 2 years… but i wanted more… i told him on several occasions that i liked him…. but he was always nice about it and said that he only saw me as a friend and that if he did like me that he still wouldn’t say he liked me because it could jeperdise our friendship….

but over the 3 years of getting to know him… he is the complete opposite of me and i love that… its like an adventure together.. we balance eachother out… and i don’t know if its me or something… but its now been 4 years of meeting eachotherand staying as really great close friends. He moved, we still talk like best friends but he only moved to another school, yet he talks to me every day.

now its a new year and the same school with a new school year and this year its without him =( . . . . but im getting by. and i really don’t want to have a boyfriend unless its him… i really don’t want to date and my friends think its because im depressed but im not its only that i don’t feel anything for anyone except him.

why do people reject the idea of dating a friend?
life is taking risks and why not take a risk on dating a friend?
do you think im depressed?
do you think that he is lying to me and really does like me?
