A little back story, Ive known her for 6 years. Im 26 m, she is 24 f.  We immediatly clicked, pretty much unseperable since then, she dated my best guy friend for 2 years, broke up with him, then started dating a douchebag, Shes been with him for 2.5 years. Lately things arent going well, he is really emotionally abussive. Severaly times shes shown up at my apartment at 2 am crying because of shit he does and says. At first I didnt want to have any feelings for her, I was doing awesome when she was dating my friend, then when she started dating douchebag I noticed changes in the way she makes me feel. We are the definition of star crossed, there is no way in hell anything between us would ever work, basically, I love her, I wish I could be with her, I daydream of us being together and me wanting nothing more than to keep her gorgeous smile on her face, but I know it wouldnt work out. Sometimes what keeps me going is knowing that in some alternate universe theres a version of me making her the happiest gal on earth. Its soul crushing when she asks for advice on what to do about him, I give her the most unbiased advice I can. I just make her happiness my priority and go from there. Im ok with the fact that she will probably never love me like that, at this point all I hope for is that she finds someone who can make her happy, and push her to make a better person of herself, but this guys not it, and its killing me. Its getting to the point where I am thinking about distancing myself from her, the heart ache is becoming unbearable, but at the same time I dont want to go away at a time when she really needs me.
