~Gilly~

I always told myself that falling in love could never happen to me. It was for the weak. But now, I can't stop. I can't stop thinking about him, looking at him, and wanting to be around him. He makes me feel so alive and maybe that's why I'm scared. Because I know if he leaves, I'll be broken. And I know that it will never happen. But it hurts to think that he will never feel the same way. He probably doesn't. He thinks of me as Gilly. A friend. Nothing less, nothing more. He's a prince. I'm a shoemakers daughter. He'll find a princess to live happily ever after with. But I won't get mine. He'll forget about me. I'll never forget him. He gives so much to me yet I can't give any to him. I know it will never work. Plus, I don't want our friendship to be ruined. But I can't help but wish things were different.
