Ale, my dear best friend, if you stumble upon this post, I request that you do not read it.
Thank you.

I've had quite a few relationships.
And unfortunately....a lot of them ended in....pretty bad ways.
I will admit, that in my past relationships, I've made some mistakes. Everyone does. But....I've forgiven myself. Why can't others forgive? You don't have to forget.
Another thing.
The one I love most...she.....isn't a possible girlfriend, and never will be. She's straight. She doesn't swing my way, if you know what I mean. And it absolutely sucks. It really does. And it's one of those really rare times where I wish I was a guy, because then, I wouldn't have to deal with all of this pain.
And so, I've resulted to treating her with the same respect, loyalty, and emotional investment that I would in a girlfriend. Not physically, of course, but you know what I mean. And because she's my best friend, I'm able to do this. I'm able to spoil her rotten, talk to her about my issues, and listen to/give her advice when she wants to talk about hers.
In conclusion....while it sucks that I can't be with her romantically, I will continue to be her best friend and care for her for as long as I live and for as long as she needs me.
