When I accepted your ship it was impulse. I know, I know, I should've just politley declined, but I did have a crush before and I wanted to rekindle it. I realise that I can't do this easily, and you're mature enough to understand why I am so I really hope we can stay close friends.
But I'm not in love with you.
That doesn't mean I don't love you, but it's not romantic. You're a wonderful person but I really don't believe we're right for eachother. I'm not going to lie to you anymore. I don't want to hurt you any more than I have to. I really hope you don't start to hate me because I enjoy your company and I want to stay close friends.
