My Secret Obsession

I was roommates with my best friend for a year at college (who I had a major, years-long crush on). I hadn’t come out as gay to my friends yet, and I hit a point of really awful depression. My friend now knows how I felt about her, and we’re okay now. But, she doesn’t know that I would take her underwear from her drawer when she was in class. I just kind of cuddled it, and laid on her bed so that I could smell her. Also, at night I would stroke her hair while she was asleep. I hated myself for it the whole time. I felt (feel) like a horrible person for betraying our friendship like that. So, yeah. That’s my secret.
