"I just wish that... I really could meet someone, like everyone keeps telling me. I can't beleive I'm admitting this, but... I've only met two people in my whole life that I've really, really liked. Right now, I feel like everything is repeating itself again. This same exact thing happened the last time. I liked him, he had a girlfriend, he didn't like me in the same way, so we stayed friends. It's nice to be friends, really, it is... but sometimes I just want more than that." The tears started again. She didn't dare wipe them away this time, her eyes were too red and they hurt a little from wiping them with her shirt.
"Don't feel bad for me, though. Be happy with what you've got... okay? The girl you're with, she got to you before anyone else got to see how great you are. She's lucky... real lucky. I mean that."
