I'll Keep Your Secret

I talked to her again today. She talked about her boyfriend.
It tears me apart.
I can't tell her about my feelings for her; it would confuse her and she doesn't need that in her life. She already has too much going, which is why she's confiding in me. I provide her emotional refuge.
Whenever she talks about him I get choked up inside; I have to take short breaths in order to keep it together. She needs someone who will listen to her and I'm happy it's me. It's the only way I get to be near her.
Eventually she won't need me anymore; after all she has him.
I hate this but I have to do this for her.

I will. This cannot continue. She has her life and she'll have it with him. I still have my life. I'll just have to keep this lesson near to me. It'll be fine. It'll take a little time, and that's okay. I'll busy myself with my ongoing projects and before long this will all be a distant memory.
It's as simple as that.
