...sure, you could lie. Or you could hold them all inside. But... I believe that even if it hurts-- even if those feelings don't quite reach or two people's feelings don't quite match up... I still think you should say them.

I actually know someone who's... preeetty awful about talking about his feelings. Not that he'd admit it. He's always goofing off and joking around-- so you'd never really guess just how much he's hiding deep down. It took quite some time, but... my feelings did reach him. And one day he... was finally able to express them back to me. It's not a story that really has a happy ending, and yet--

Without a doubt... it was worth it.

Even if it isn't easy, I think that even working through your painful feelings, you'll be able to understand each other better. There's no guarantee that you'll ever see eye to eye, but-- you might at least be able to see things from each other's perspectives, as long as you keep trying to work at it.
