the boy of my dreams... or maybe nightmares?

oh my gosh i am in love with a boy named damon. now if you are a christian, you understand that you shouldnt get into relationships with people of a different religion thats any more than friendship. well, he's mormon. lucky me. i met him in 7th grade on the first day of gym. that day has always been one of the best. we were and are friends since then and one day in about february or march of 2010, i told him i liked him, over the phone to be exact, oh how romantic :). well i asked him if he liked me back and his answer was no and he said it so fast i swear, i was shocked. has anyone else ever just had hope in there heart that they shouldnt? well, im a hopeless type with too much hope for no reason. im shooting myself in the foot just for the sake of having too many bullets. that's right, i have too much hope for life and it's all getting wasted on him. he doesnt even like me back. well i know how this works, love. i know how love is. it sucks, i know, because im trapped in it. welcome to my world. i dont know when it happened, it just did. and now im stuck and got no way out. i dont understand this though, why do i have to be stuck in love like this when no one loves me back? im unwanted by guys. other than the fact that damon's my friend, no guy's have any feelings for me. im just an extra. maybe one day things will change.
