I swore I would never do this... Here's the short version to start with. You've been in love with someone for years. You're content and happy just being by their side without any ulterior motives other than seeing them happy. A romantic relationship with this person isn't an option for you for various reasons that have to do entirely with you and nothing with them. They are clueless to your feelings and that's for the best since even if they reciprocated, nothing would ever come of it. This person lands up in a romantic relationship with your worst enemy. This results in your friendship being fractured and non-existent. Both of you say things you can't take back and part ways intending to never have anything to do with each other after that. You are okay with this because you know they are happy and have gotten what they wanted, you have no regrets as you made your feelings for this person known before leaving their side. Except after a time they suddenly show back up again. The romantic relationship has apparently fallen apart, leaving them devastated. During the absence they have suddenly come to the conclusion that they have been in love with you and just didn't realize it. They want your friendship back and for your relationship to be like it was in the past. The issues that prevent you from pursuing them were resolved and no longer hold you back. Friendship isn't enough anymore. Having just gotten out of a relationship, they say they aren't ready and just want to start by picking up the fractured pieces of the friendship and see where it goes from there. You agree and things fall back into relative normalcy considering how they were prior. The problem is, any pressure beyond that is met with resistance and I'm beginning to wonder if just this shred of hope is their way of not losing me again. That friendship is all it will ever be...
