Five years of waiting!

8th grade was when it started. He wasn't the first boy that I had fallen for, but he was my best friend. It was safe to say I loved everything about this young man. He always made me smile and he would do the job of cheering me up when I needed him to do so. I think it is safe to say that Dylan was my first "love". Over years and years of being best friends we eventually went on with our lives I still to this day have him in my life and I can call him whenever I want and he can do the same. 
Last night as I was cleaning out my room I came across a journal I had in my 8th grade year, this was the year that our friendship had started. When I flipped open to the first page this is what I read:
"But now to name one more Dylan! This boy is my everything. I would go to the moon and back for him. He is my best friend out of the boys, and I love him. I love him more than I should I know. But he loves me too! And did I mention how pretty he is? Indeed he is very pretty. I know I will always love him."
After laughing for about five minutes I reached for my phone. I had never told Dylan how I had felt about him, and I had never planned on it either. I was completely fine with taking it to my grave, but something came over me last night. Maybe it was just because I am a completely different person than I was then. I think it was actually because all this time I have realized that he can't hurt me, or that it wouldn't hurt me if he didn't like me in the same way. Because every time he told me about a new girl, or every time he picked his girlfriend over me it would kill me on the inside. Or at least that is  how it use to be. Five years waiting in silence... 
You can bet you bottom dollar I called him, I was worried a little that he wouldn't answer, but he did. And I told him everything I told him that I use to be madly head over heals in love with him when we were younger, and I read that entry to him. I left a line or to out because it would have been way to embarrassing! It was nice to talk to him again!
And now all is out in the open. He knows what I have always been to scared to tell him, and everything is right!

P.S. He told me he loved me, but I believe it was more in a friend way. Which I love I could tell him all of that and still have my best friend!
