Let me tell you a very sad story. Comments required!!! |
 Not_A_Megalomaniac |
And it's sad because it's true, however I would value ANY comments at the end.
Sorry if this makes you cry a bit, by the way.
There was once a girl called Ellen Naomi Cohen who grew up in a Baltimore - somewhere in America. She was 5'5" tall and was extremely overweight - dangerously so, you might say. However, she had THE most amazing personality, immediately befriended everyone she met and was loved by probably the whole wide world. She also had what can only be described as a singing voice that would make the angels jealous.
Anyway, she changed her name to Cass Elliot, and after a while she joined a band called The Mamas and the Papas, which also included one of her best friends, a man called Denny Doherty.
The band also included a married couple named John and Michelle Phillips. They all got along pretty well. Then Cass realised something. She was actually truly, madly and deeply in love with Denny. But he was also her best friend. She didn't know quite what to do about it. So she did nothing.
Then she discovered that Denny was having an affair with Michelle (the one who was married to John!). This devastated Cass, although she never stopped loving Denny or being his best friend.
Then, just before the Mamas and Papas split, Cass asked Denny to marry her. She told him that she'd always loved him and told him she could make him happy. He said no. And you know what the only reason at the time he said no was??? Because she was too fat.
I know. Bastard. (heavenly voice though!)
Anyway. Five years later, Cass died of a heart attack. It was only then that Denny realised how much he loved her - and now he regrets not marrying her when he had the chance.
Now. Over to you lot.
Hypothetically speaking, given that story you've just read, if ever you discovered that all along you were madly in love with your best friend - your soulmate possibly - would you tell him? Even if THAT ended up happening and he wasn't in love with you?? Would him knowing how you felt make things awkward between you? Would you rather it was out in the open so as to keep your relationship permanently open and honest with no secrets as all best friends should be?? Or would you be too worried something like THAT would happen and end up breaking your heart???
I mean obviously this IS hypothetical and I'm not for one moment referring to ME (you know me and MY views towards the L word!! IT'S WRONG!) - because my best friend is a girl!! And my male best friend is... well... he's practically one of the girls anyway so he doesn't count. It's just I find it an extremely sad situation to get into, and it's another of my main reasons for never being silly enough to fall in love. But surely things would never be ABLE to be the same again - and wouldn't that be the worst thing possible? Wouldn't you rather have a lifetime's friendship than an instantly broken heart and no friendship just cos of you and your big gob saying something that was best left unsaid??
What would YOU do???
