Keeping the ‘just friends’ mentality is hard, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. I just have to keep my distance a little and try not to get too close. Not right now anyway. I want to make this friendship work, I really do. I’m on that whole “I’d rather have you in my life as a friend, than not have you at all” mentality. I’m glad that we’re able to talk like we used to. I meant it when I said that you weren’t just my boyfriend, you were my best friend. If I can’t have the boyfriend aspect of you back, I’d gladly take the best friend part. I know things can’t exactly go back to the way they were, but maybe in the future things will turn out better. You honestly brought out the best in me and that’s why you mean so much to me. Some of my friends don’t understand that and they don’t really need to. You mean/t a lot to me, plain and simple.
