Matthew was undoubtedly your best friend. Your favorite person.

You were having a shitty day?

You went to him.

Relationship problems?

You went to him.

Stressed about random everyday garbage?

Matthew made it all go away.

It’d taken almost five years of this close friendship to come to the realization.

You love him.

And suddenly, spending all that time with him didn’t comfort you anymore.

It all became about covering up the feelings you were harvesting. And it was about time you told him the truth.

“I just- I think I need some space for a bit…” You said, shoving your hands into your pockets.

Matthew was unbelievably taken aback by this. It was so out of the blue…

“Is everything okay…?” He managed to say, his heartbeat quick.

He loves you, he can’t lose you…
