It would be nice if the story ended differently - if he had burst into tears and professed his love for me; if he had said the same three words back and hugged me; if he had given it thought and then asked if we could try a relationship. But you know what? I said those three words to a boy who didnt love me back, at least not in that way. He casually dropped a love you later on, and in a platonic you have impacted my life way, he was telling the truth. But I knew. He had given it thought, and we were not on the same page. I built up all this courage to say I love you for the very first time, and I said those words to a person that couldnt reciprocate them. But guess what? I dont regret any of it.
