The stuff best friends are made of:

Excerpts from a MSN conversation today where I was bemoaning the fact that I've become a pathetic needy freak who can't seem to make the one person who means the world to me understand why I need her so much.

Me: I just wish she could understand

Denny: Why do you think she doesn't? Just because she can't return your feelings doesn't mean she can't understand longing... and emptiness.. I'm sure she's had heartache in her life. If she didn't understand... you would have lost her completely by now

Me: If she did, then she would be able to see how this is eating me up

Denny: And? She would get back with you just to stop that? Would you date someone you cared about but didn't love just to stop them from suffering?

<long pause while his statement sinks in>

Me: No...

Trust my best friend to be always on hand to give me the wake up call I need.

Thank you D
