Ah... That's so sad... But I admire you setting your own feelings aside for the happiness of that person! Falling for a friend (a girl one at that) is hard, huh? I can kinda relate... I'm glad you got that off your chest, though. :)

Oh my gosh, don't you just love getting things off your chest?
"Truth is stranger than fiction. I Couldn't make that shit up if I tried."
Sorry, I felt that that quote fit.
I hate feeling an obligation towards friends and having to help them even if it feels like your heart is being ripped in half. Ugh. Nice job :)

I am beginning to find that many friends are willing to offer sympathy, but much fewer are willing and ready to sit down and actually listen. And judging from your letter, you are truly a wonderful friend...
