Perfect Friendship

He has always considered her his closest friend, someone he laughs with, confides in, and trusts deeply. But instead of asking her out or acknowledging the bond they share, he treats her like "one of the guys," never seeing (or pretending not to see) how special their connection truly is. Eventually, he starts dating someone else. Yet even in his new relationship, he can't stop talking about her. Her name slips into every conversation, every story, every moment of excitement or frustration.
