I feel like the pause between exhale and inhale. It's a peaceful moment, but if it stretches too long your lungs start to burn and your muscles twitch in desperation.
I feel closer to her than I have ever been before. We laughed together and she honestly enjoyed my company. She looks at me without fear of making eye contact.
It's so hard not to reach out and pull her close to me and hug her. She says she isn't ready, she doesn't know if she will like it.

Maybe we will never be more than friends.

I bought her a copy of "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali. She has three of his paintings already. I think I will give it to her for her birthday.
"Amanda, whatever happens between us, keep this as a reminder that I will always love you."
