with Friends: Stay close.

I want to be there for you as your friend...




but without betraying myself.
For now, I'm doing my best to settle things with myself. But please, don't go wandering off...
It kind of hurt (very slightly) to think that you're staying away as I'm [sort of] struggling with my [not-so-intense] feelings for you.

Basta. I want us to be good friends. Give me time and I'll be able to settle things down. Just, keep in touch. I hate to think that you're evading  me or something. Please, don't. It'd just be hurtful. Well, a little bit.

I guess I shouldn't have said anything in the first place...
