Right. Again, I'm sorry GalaxyCatcher13 I'm stealing your format. I'll share more gayness in a sec. Just let me 'officially' vent to the internet.

I've had a crush on my friend for, like, over 3 years. We've known each other for 3 and ½. She came out to me as bi and I was like "Finally! Someone I like who is open-minded and I might actually have a chance with!" Anyway, I asked my other gay friends for advice on how to tell her I liked her, and they said to just tell her. So I text her and I'm like: "yo, I have a crush on someone, and I'm wondering if you've got some advice?" (Smooth, ik). And so she tells me that she got asked out by her crush THAT DAMN MORNING. And my heart sort of breaks a bit. Cause I was too late.

So anyway, fast forward, like, a year nearly, and she's got this anonymous question thing. So I tell her - anonymously - that I have a crush on her. She then goes apeshit trying to find out who it is. Bearing in mind that she is in a happy relationship with her - now girlfriend - crush. So I'm like " oh, hope you find out!" And then she vents to me how she just wants to know so that she can talk to them and help them. So I pluck up the courage to go "yeah. It was me. I have a crush on you" then we have a great conversation, and we come out as still best friends. She says I can love her secretly, but just, not, like, openly. And I'm cool with that. I'm happy being her gay, advice giving, non-judgmental hippy best friend. And as I told her, now that I've told her about the said crush, I feel like it's ebbing away.

Also, both she and I are poetic as fuck, so when she said "I'm sorry for breaking my heart" I said "You didn't break it. Just cracked it a bit. But cracks are fine. They can be filled with gold. I'll find my gold, my someone, just as you found yours". So that was a poetic moment.

I feel really guilty copying GalaxyCatcher13

How do I stop feeling like a betraying little shat?!?
