Love is Cruel

My best friend liked this guy, but he was taken and so was she. The guy she liked dumped his girlfriend. Her boyfriend dumped her. So now they were both single. But this took months. And during this time I got to know my friend's crush very well. I soon fell in love with him. I tried to deny it but I knew it was true. I told no one. She had liked him longer. And he liked her not me. They were meant to be together. Soon I got a text from my friend telling me that she is going out with the guy. I replied with a very happy message saying it was about time blah blah blah. Then I went and cried my heart out for nearly 1/2hr. It has been almost a month now and although I have tried to forget him I can't. It hurts so much. But neither she nor he can ever know.
