It's ok to love a friend, even if that love isn't corresponded... as long as you know it's not personal and it's not your fault. It's much better to feel good around someone, to have that awe and excitement when you're with them, when they compliment you or you compliment them and make them happy. The food is tastier, the music sounds better, the flowers and birds seem more beautiful. To not love translates to a life with less colour. PS: Not honeymoon phase, i have loved for almost a year now
