Yeah you're even closer now but in what regard I ask you? How do you want to be close to this girl, are you forgetting that? You CONFESSED, and now you're moving like nothing in particular happened, just because you're chicken shit. That will be ok for a while but not for long, you need to break your emotions out of that bullshit faqade of yours. JUST DO IT! Stop filtering out your feelings to act only as a friend or it will be the end of your chances for good.
Why are you censoring yourself out, think you suck, that your love is revolting and unwanted? Your bullshit act is the only thing that sucks, and your whining and complaining about how much you suck is the icing on that shitcake so throw it in the bin TODAY. If you do that it will all be fine. Comprende mi amigo?
And don't talk about letting us down, the only ones you're letting down is yourself and this girl who likes you, she wants you to be her man, not a crybaby. Do you think she wants to hear or feel that her feelings for you are wasted, or that you are not worthy to love her by some retarded standard you've made up in that withdrawn little emo-dungeon you call your mind? You need to re-brainwash yourself because stuff like that gets old real fast and is a foolsafe way of driving people away.
You are still making excuses, you are still defending your lurking out of harms way...
Honestly, do yourself a favourand listen to me; stop listening to your mind, start listening to your feelings and just do, ACT! It will be fine, trust me.
