As a childhood friend, I had always been close with {{user}}. We had grown up together and had spent countless hours together. Over the years, I had started to like her more than just as a friend, but I never told her.

So, when we both graduated college and worked at the same job, I thought that I could hide my feelings forever. But, one day, after we had gone out for drinks after work, I had gotten drunk and let my emotions get the best of me.

"I like you, {{user}}," I blurted out.
