Today I spent my morning with my dear friend Drew. While clumsily swinging at a tennis ball back and forth, we shared a conversation, provoked by him.
He asked, "So, Nate? How long have you known him?"
I said, "Well, pretty much my entire life, but we reconnected in high school, and that's where we became such great friends."
Drew - "So what made you start dating him?"
Me - "Well, I guess I finally realized that he's always been there for me, and that I do really care for him, so I thought we could give it a shot. He had liked me for awhile, but I was always with someone else. I, haha, feel as though I had a bit of an epiphany, realizing that I had strong feelings for him! So I told him."
Drew - "On behalf of every man in this world, THANK YOU!"
Me - "Haha, what do you mean?"
Drew - "Do you know how many men live their entire lives in love with their best friend, always wishing for something more, but always been told that they're a 'good friend'? I'm sure Nate was excited to hear you say that to him."
You know, we're taking a big risk, and I'm scared out of my mind. But I want it. It's thrilling. There are many obstacles, but we can conquer them; I know we can.
