Dear Ashton,

Every single day I spend time with you, the more the fact that you love someone else slips through my mind. Whenever I'm with you, I easily forget everything else. I was just reminded of this when you had confided in me about your attraction to the beautiful girl you've been pining after for months.

I gave you a huge smile, nodding every once in a while as you told me about how much you love her, all the while ignoring the stabbing pain inside my chest and my heart screaming your name. I knew. I knew you loved her. I've always known.

I just didn't want to accept that there wasn't going to be any room in your heart for me. But now... I've started to accept that I wouldn't ever be anything more than just a friend to you.

You still love her, after all.
