but what happens in the end?

Sometimes I end up developing a good friendship with a person I had a crush on. It's like when you crush the ends of seedlings to encourage them to grow back stronger and healthier.

Once that initial chemistry has determined that I really like someone, and now that I've realized they only want to be friends with me, eventually my feelings are stimulated to grow back. I get over my crush, and in the ensuing friendship I can enter into a greater and truer understanding of the person.

After all, since I've already made the effort to get to know him, it doesn't take much more to accept him as a friend.

But it's also often the case that when I give up a person as a crush, it's too painful for me to keep seeing him. I deal with this by not frequenting the places where I used to see him. I do my best to forget all my fancies and emotions.

Sooner or later I forget about him;
sooner if I find another person to have a crush on.
