I never thought it could happen. . .

But here I am, in love again. Even if he says he doesn't feel as strongly for me as I do for him, I still love him. This sucks though, because if I'm the only one in this deeply, why is he bothering to stick around? I don't understand. He says he loves me, that he is in love with me, that I'm his best friend in the world, and yet he isn't as deeply in love with me as I am with him? Okay, I get that since when I do allow myself to fall for someone, I do it whole heartedly. It's a problem I've had to deal with my entire life. I guess time will tell which way this relationship will go. It feels like he's getting closer to me, seems like he's bringing me more into his life. I hope this is the case.
