Will he realize I've been here all along?

There's this boy, I've been in love with him for the longest time, he's my best friend, and I've never felt this way before.

He says he's just my bestie, thats all; but why did he stay then? Why does he pull at my heart strings every day?

I have told him countless times I love him and have never gotten an "I love you" back. We both have dreams to go someday far away and live in a big city...does he realize I want to go far away with him? I can't get over him not matter how hard I try and I know I never will. I don't feel like I have to get over him any time soon, because I know he will be my best friend always.

But I will wait for him: as long as I have to until he realizes, I've been here all along and he doesn't have to look for his soulmate. I'm right here and I'll never stop loving him.
