Unrequited Love

So, there's this guy. I had known and loved him for 3 years already. Let's call him Hans. The first time I met him, I knew he was already the one. He has gentle, brown eyes and a cute smile and oh! He's perfect!
There are lot of situations that made me feel he liked me too. He helps me out, cares and worries about me. He's sweet and makes me fall in love with him even more. We had a lot of happy moments together. When we're on the last grade in elementary, there's this girl who seemed to be his crush. I knew this girl for a long time already. There were moments between them that made me jealous. But I kept on hoping that he didn't like her.
Another girl came and she was tough. She was so cool, smart and pretty. Better than me, I guess. This girl was our classmate 2 years ago so, he knew her. Let's call her Mary. When we graduated, I couldn't help but to cry because I'll miss him. So much!
Summer came and I was enrolled on another school so far from him. I could not move on. I still missed him and it's already been 1 yr since we've met. We are friends on Facebook and Yahoo. That's the only way I could keep track of him. I keep on uploading pictures of me just to show him how much I've changed. I sometimes visit my old school and wear really cool and sexy shirts to show my curves. But when he's there, I pretend that I don't see him. He doesn't even say hi; instead he cuddles with my bff beside me. I did get jealous a bit. After that, I cried. But I didn't gave up. I never told him i liked him. I was just too shy.
One day, I asked his best friend (my old classmate) how he's doing. I didn't expect to answer me in such a way! Let's call him Criz. I thought he's gonna say that Hans likes me too but he told that he's been taken. A long time ago. With Mary of course. I thought it was all a joke but then I checked Hans's profile info. It was true. I cried to death. It was there that he's in a relationship with Mary. My whole world came crashing down. I was such a dork to expect a cool guy like him to like an uncool girl like me. I decided to forget about him for a while but I'm still ready to accept him if he comes back to me. That's how much I love him.
