Thank you Yana for writing about this difficul topic. We al want to be loved and rejection can be very hard. Friendships tend to come and go. People leave and than new people show up in your life.

Beautiful Yana. Loss is always hard. Better for him to move on and find his “perfect”. I’m sorry for your loss though. A good friend is a special gift. Unfortunate, that he didn’t understand the friend fence.

I guess a friend is a friend and it should stay that way but human relationships are complex and very often emotions and feelings change the path to love. Some accept it but it may not be everyone's choice.

I’ve been the guy in this scenario. But I valued the person more than my desires and respected the other person’s wishes. We remain friends to this day. It’s his loss, not having you in his life.

I thought that something has happened during the last few weeks. But it turned out to be an old wound.

Such a beautiful and thoughtful post. Sorry for your loss, my friend.

“People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, and complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past. ” – Nicholas Sparks “The Rescuer”
