best friend,
1. When he hugs you tight and keeps you close, do not think anything of it. When he smiles at you and you see the twinkle in his eyes, make sure yours do not shine brighter. When he tells you he loves you so nonchalantly, say it back as if you didn't mean it in any other way but friendship.
2. When he stares at you with his orbs of brown, don't act as if you would fall right into the depths of his enchantments. Smile, chuckle, and finally, painfully look away.
3. When he doesn't reply after a few hours, forgive him too easily. When he brushes off his late reply, brush it off harder, as if this would make it easier to bear the shallow pain of unmet expectations.
4. When he holds your hand, clutch it tightly and then let go. His hand is like his love: it is in your grasp but you must let it go; it is not yours. His love is like wet sand. It escapes quickly from your tight grip, pouring into someone else's ocean.
5. When he spends time with you, know that those precious seconds, minutes, hours, are only his excess. Remember that his time is only found, not made.
6. When he tells you his secrets, keep them close to your heart. It's the least you could do since you can't tell him of the secrets you keep about how you wish he was yours, that he loved you the way you love him, how you wish he wasn't hers.
7. When he shows you the ways to his heart, do not use them. Stop yourself from using them. It is for her disposal and her alone.
8. When he gives you a gift, say thank you and accept it without pretense. He does not need to know that even the gift of his words are hidden away in the corners of your mind, inducing a plethora of emotions you wish to forget.
9. When he needs comfort, freely give it to him. When he is hurting, be his rock when she is his waters. Don't take it to heart when you give him comfort but it is still she that he chooses. After all, you are the best friend.
10. You just can't.
