I thought when my love for you died, I should die too. It is dead but strangely, I live on.

ive been that person before. i knew it at the time as well but i couldnt do anything about it. i ended up fancying loads of people, i think i got through about 3 in the space of 2 weeks. lol when i say "got through" i mean i just started fancying them to stopping fancying them sorta thing. one was just a good looking bloke from one of my classes who seemed nice too, but i discovered at a 6th form party that he was just a male tart and got off with everyone aprt from me which was NOT good for my self esteem.

and the other was a male friend i was convinced i fancied. well he was totally in love with a mutual friend (who was kinda in another relationship) and i just saw things that werent there. hes an affectionate person and i spent ages agonizing over whether he was touching my knee or holding my hand or something in a friendly way or in a sexual way. (turns out to be the former).

and the other... i realised my feelings for him and told him, which were met with ... i guess it took him aback a bit and he denied having feelings for me. but he kinda did. but just didnt want it to be rebound and thought we'd both get hurt at the end of it and that my feelings werent real. well hey, guess it turns out they were really doesnt it? (lol if you dont know im not gonna tell you!)

i think its just a need to be close to someone again after getting out of a relationship. sometimes you might discover/realise real feelings, but a lot of the time you're just trying to replace your ex. in my case i suppose i was trying to replace the physical side of my relationship with my ex with my male friend, and the emotional side elsewhere. confusing business, these relationships, arent they?

I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.
