When she first told me, I wondered. I mean I was happy, I was interested and I was willing to help in any way, but still I wondered. I wondered because it was you. Since you came, we've been friends, really good friends. I mean you're like a brother to me and she's like a sister. How brilliant, I thought, it would be if things did turn out.
I was as naive as her though. As much as I tried to help, I didn't see until the end. Only just before she did. You weren't interested. She even got jealous that you spoke to me more than her, which made me feel horrible because she felt bad for it. She knew as much as I knew that I only think of you as a friend, but still it got to her.
Because you wouldn't talk to her, you wouldn't look at her, but you knew. I know you knew. You knew and yet you didn't even grant her a brief conversation let alone a proper friendship. It made me wonder, do guys have any feelings? Do they know how hurt a girl can get? I tried to tell myself they do, because love can exist. Because it does exist, somewhere in this world. If not for me, which I don't mind, then for someone, somewhere. I tried to tell myself you do have a heart. But clearly you can't have much of one.
She liked you, you knew, and yet you asked another girl. OK people can like who they will, but you didn't even say anything to her. You just left her out, keeping her on the side for when you want her. Maybe it's not all guys, because I know people who wouldn't do that. Maybe it is just you. When I found out, all I wanted to do was curl up in a corner by myself. It wasn't for me, but for her. Because I'd lost hope and I knew that she would only be worse. I knew there was nothing I could do to help.
Why hadn't we seen it before? Why hadn't we realised there's some people you're interested in and others you're not? You hurt someone before and I defended you then. I couldn't hate you then because you're my friend. Like I can't hate you now.
Despite what's happened, what you've done to her, how stupid you've been, I can't hate you. Because you're like a brother to me. And as much as I want to beat the crap out of you for what's happened, what you've done for her and how stupid you've been I never will. What's worse is I can't hate the other girl because she's so close to me as well.
Whatever happens now, I hope you know I'm not there for you. I'm there for her. And only her.
