hmm, took me nearly 2 years to really get over him. I had known
he likes another girl when I had a crush on him, but still I think
it is hope that made me continued to hold on to him. But then I
told him, got rejected, was very very hurt for like a few weeks
(actually I can still feel the effect of that pain until now, I
guess it will always be there to remind me of the price of
unrequited love) and then I move on. We are still close frens now,
I am glad for that. I have always thought I would not be able to
handle that. And he always told me that he gave me and the current
guy in my life his blessings 
So, things have a way of working out in the end 
i.c.y
