“how can i explain this to you without hurting your feelings?

I LIKE YOU, BUT NOT LIKE THAT. I LIKE BEING WITH YOU, BUT NOT IN THAT WAY. I LIKE TALKING TO YOU, BUT JUST AS FRIENDS. I NEED TO FOCUS ON MYSELF. I DON’T HAVE TIME TO COMMIT. BLAH, BLAH BLAH. BUT AS I READ BACK OVER THAT PARAGRAPH, I REALIZE SOMETHING. DESPITE THE FACT THAT THOSE ARE ALL OF THE LINES THAT WE THINK PEOPLE FEED TO US TO COVER UP SOME OTHER EXCUSE, EVERY WORD OF IT IS TRUE. AND EVEN THOUGH SOME PEOPLE MAY BE SAYING THESE SAME WORDS AND NOT MEANING THEM, CHANCES ARE THAT MOST OF THE GOOD ONES WILL. SO NOW I ASK YOU, THE SAME WAY I’M ASKING HIM, TO PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT YOU DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG. IT REALLY IS ME.x
