No, he’s not just ‘another one of my crushes’.
This one’s different.
If we fight, I’m not okay until we fix it. I make the effort to go to his house so we can work things out. Never before have I cared about anyone as much as him to do that.
Just seeing him makes my day. That sounds cheesy, but in all honestly it does. There’s something about his presence that brings a smile to my face.
He knows how to cheer me up, no matter what’s the matter with me or what’s going on in his own life.
We’ve only known each other since freshman year, and have only gotten close this year. Most people who have known me since elementary school still don’t know me as well as he does.
No matter how horribly I treat him because of my fears/personal issues, he understands. He’ll, of course, take it to heart at first, but once I explain everything it’s like none of it ever happened.
And of course, his hugs. They’re legitimately the best hugs I have experienced in my life. For once I feel safe with someone. It sounds lame being that we’re ‘just friends’, but I really do feel safe when I’m with him.
While it’s taking me longer than I thought to get over my other best friend and the issues/problems him and I had, he’s slowly showing me that not all guys are the same… They won’t all play with your emotions as a joke, or abuse you because they find it funny to themselves. I no longer go home with bruises, nor do I go home upset after hanging out with him. I may still be scarred a bit from the previous friendship, but because of him, the scars are slowly fading away, and I couldn’t thank him anymore for that.
This is all cheesy and cliche, but it’s the God’s honest truth. I needed to let this out. People keep asking me why exactly I like him, and to be honest, what I posted was just a few of the reasons. I could go on for hours… hell, even days, about why exactly I like him, yet some reasons I just can’t ‘quite put my dick on’ (he’ll understand).
Oh yeah, and you know those butterflies that people talk about? I never believed in them… And then I fell for him.
