I haven't been in a relationship in about 7 years, I'm 21 now. My best friend and I used to text each other every day for a couple weeks saying "good morning" and "I love you". I liked being there for her, and when she used to tell me she got hungry in school I surprised her by sending a bunch of snacks to her house. She never sent anything back (except a cute selfie with her and the food haha) and I was okay with that.

We weren't in a relationship, but I miss the feelings a lot. Knowing she was there made me feel like I really mattered to someone. I know I matter to my friends and family, but it's not the same. She rejected me and now we don't talk anymore, though I still find myself checking my phone every morning to this day.

100% of the time, I get absolutely nothing, and it makes me feel really crappy for the rest of the day.
