I let go of my unrequited love

I met her on tinder last year and we became really close friends. I slowly ended up falling in love with her genuinely. I never said anything because I was scared of losing the friendship, she was my only friend, and I was lonely. But I couldn’t do it any longer. It was my peace or listening to her talk about the guys she’s dated while she actively calls me a friend. My peace or going out to explore new cities and events with her while she dresses up and looks gorgeous. I made her cry when I told her I loved her and needed space. Now I’m lonely again, but I hope I can give my love to someone who better deserves it.
