time never had a chance to heal my heart.

I told myself last month that I was finally over Joe, then again that was when he was with Loran and I didn't expect them to break up any time soon. Now that they are broken up I'm starting to wonder. Since I've been thinking about it, I've realized that I was in love with him.
A friend of mine has gone through the exact same feelings as I have and last night as I was telling her all of this she says, "You're still in denial, but you are on the road to acceptance".

Yes, time never had a chance to heal my heart, but I'm on my way to accepting the way things are between us and it's a good feeling.
Like I have said a million times before, he is my best friend. I'll never let feelings of more than that come between us. I'll always still love him, but I've seen what happens between him and the girls he has dated. They aren't friends anymore, or it has taken a while to get back to normal. I've never had to leave him for a short period or at all. I've stayed around because we haven't been anything more than friends.

I'd like it to stay that way.
Things are finally starting to get back to normal and I don't want to risk it.
