It would all fall into place eventually...

Once upon a time there lived a girl named Sue who met a boy named Ted. The second Sue laid eyes on Ted, she had a crush on him. She thought he was really cute and the more she spent time with him, the more she got to see how kind and sweet he was and this made her crush on him even more. So, some years later, she still has this crush on him but it's formed into stronger feelings, maybe even love... Sue really liked the way things were between them. She might have been this shy girl who never really said a lot but she felt like maybe that didn't matter to him, maybe he would still like her anyway and sometimes she got that impression. After she finally got the courage to tell him how she felt, she was crushed to hear that he didn't like her that way but he still wanted to be friends. She accepted that and tried to move on. Seven years later her feelings for him hadn't changed. She's just tortured herself by having feelings for someone who didn't return them. She's tried to convince herself that liking a boy who didn't like her back was pointless and that was supposed to be a good enough reason to move on and as hard as she TRIED, it only became harder for her to actually move on.

She knew he only saw her as a friend, she knew that it wasn't ever going to change, she knew that it was easy for him to act like she never told him anything about liking him, she knew he had no problem moving on and dating other girls, she knew he had a somewhat, not really official relationship with some chick in Indonesia and if those reasons weren't enough to let her know that she NEEDED to let go and move on, she was stupid enough to still hang on. She wanted to believe that some day it would all change and he would see that they were meant to be together. She wanted her happy ending with him and only him. She didn't want to see herself with anyone else and she knew all the good possibilities she could have with different people but she didn't want to take the risk of letting her chance with Ted pass by. She was living in a fantasy world; a fairy tale, and there was no convincing her that it didn't always work out the way you want it to. Sometimes the person you want most, is the person you're best without...

But that's what scared her the most. She didn't want to be in a world that didn't involve him. She was afraid that by letting go, she'd lose him forever, therefore, she held on even tighter. It was now the year 2009 and she felt as if her life was going nowhere. She had all these issues building up in her brain, issues that only concerned him and the only way to make them go away was to confess her heart and soul to Ted. She wanted to tell him things that she couldn't the night she told him she liked him, things that would make the situation awkward and uncomfortable. She felt she couldn't move on with her life if he didn't know exactly how much she liked him. Maybe the only way to get passed something, you have to release every thought and feeling to the person you can't get over. Maybe if she told him how she couldn't stop thinking about him or how she felt genuinely happy every time he was around her, she'd finally be able to let go. Maybe if he knew that she'd give up anything for him or do whatever he wanted, it'd be easier for her to accept the fact that friends was all they were going to be. Maybe if he knew that she dreamed of them getting married, it'd help her see that there could be more amazing guys out there than just him. But she didn't want to scare him away with saying all those things. The last thing she ever wanted was to lose the friendship that they had. She didn't want to make things more weird between them and she knew for a fact that if she confessed all that to him, it surely would make matters worse.

She was stuck. She had no idea what to do and she felt her issues getting worse. Every time he looked at her or spoke to her, every time he gave her a hug or smiled at her, she felt like she was getting stuck more and more and there was no way of getting out of the mess that she created for herself. But she was just starting to realize that it all began the second she met him. There was no avoiding it. Maybe it was meant to be and he was the one who wasn't realizing it yet. Or maybe he was but he was just too afraid to accept it. Maybe some time down the road, everything would fall into place and she'd finally get to have her happy ending. Maybe she's not at a total loss. MAYBE, this was a sign God was giving her, telling her not to give up hope too soon. Maybe she just has to wait a little bit longer before she can finally live happily ever after with the one person she's always wanted....

I'm thinking maybe Sue is clinging to false hope. I've been where Sue is and I've been where Ted is more than once. And in my case(s) waiting never ended in a relationship. It always ended with the person being in love having to get over it. I do believe it can happen that two people who didn't fall for each other at first sight can fall in love at a later point in time. But I'd say in the majority of cases waiting doesn't change anything. No matter how much Sue wishes Ted's feeling for her would change, sadly it's not something that can easily or often at all be influenced by words or even actions. I just hope Sue doesn't interpret every small little thing Ted does into something that might mean his feelings have changed. Ted's a guy. Guys don't do subtle. Guys don't overanalyze. Guys often do things without thinking about what they might mean.

What I wish, though, is that Sue gets her happy ending. Love can be such a complicated, messy thing.
