What I Can't Have

During the last couple of months, I have fallen for a man. He's asbolutely incredible, I love everything about him. His intelligence, personality, and great sense of humour. He makes me feel good about myself when I'm feeling down or confused, he inspires me to do better, and he just makes me laugh at the most random things.

The downside to all of this is that he's completely off-limits. For the record, he's not a married man, but he is engaged in a profession that restricts me from pursuing anything with him. Recently, I've come to realize that even attempting to snag him would be wrong and difficult. Also, I'm starting to think that he doesn't feel the same way about me, even though we have had "sparks" before. (At least from what I can tell.)

I'm just going to give up on him for three reasons:

1) I can't read him or his thoughts...which can lead to fatal things.
2) It's too risky starting a relationship with him.
3) Fear of rejection/consequences. (I just can't get over this one)

I guess this is just one of the decisions I'm going to have to live with the rest of my life.
