Friends and Feelings

Dear Journal, While dancing with Rhiannon at the dance on Monday, something happened inside of my heart. I found myself feeling more than friendship feelings for her. At first, I thought these feelings came up because of the slow song that we were dancing to, and would go away as soon as the song ended. Two days later, they are still here. These feelings have made me realize something: I have been secretly in love with Rhiannon for years. This is not surprising, because there have been times when I wondered what it would be like to have Rhiannon as a girlfriend. There were also times where I would get a little jealous when she would hang out with other guys. Even though these feelings are in my heart, I am not going to act on them yet, nor tell her how I feel. Besides the possibility of Rhiannon not feeling the same way, I want things to remain the same with Rhiannon, my best friend in the entire world, and me for a while. -Shea
