Back At Square One. (Prose/Letter)

``This is 100% real. It is a prose/letter. I kind of had to let it all out.

Well, look where I am again, back at square one.
I fell too hard, and wished for something that was too unrealistic.
I lived with optimism throughout the time I liked you,
and now I'm left with a heart that was nearly ripped to shreds-
but still remains one piece and pumps blood through my veins.

I opened my heart and told you how I honestly felt about you,
I mentioned that I liked everything that you had to offer me...
one, being that beautiful smile that I shined proudly upon my face.
If I had to sum it all up, I laid my heart out there to be dissected.
I risked everything and put it all on the line, hoping I wouldn't get hurt.

However, something very special came out of this, a good friendship.
I think we'll be better this way, just for the main fact that-
not a single thing will ever break the special bond we share.
I will still care deeply about you and be there for you-
whenever you need a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to.

In my eyes, I made no progression. No progression whatsoever.
I didn't accomplish the goal that I wanted to accomplish-
which was to be with you and be happy... but unfortunately,
the thing that I feared most got in the way; distance.
Being so far apart and not being able to see each other.

But I must say, this time wasn't worth the waste at all.
It was beneficial in a way because we came out of it as good friends.
I don't dislike or hate you in anyway, nothing will EVER change that.
You will always make me smile and laugh although you made me cry.
I learned so much from this, and now I have move on from it.
