Okay, I'm sorry. I just needed some time to collect my thoughts.
This is about a Person On Twitter. We'll call this person Katelyn. Now, in the beginning, I didn't pay much attention to Katelyn.
In all honesty, she was one of those people I only followed because other people were following her.
As time went on though, I started to notice what she (re)tweeted and liked. Her interests and ideological beliefs were very similar to mine.
Like, it was closer to a perfect match than anyone else I've seen on this site. As is my general mode, my curiosity was piqued.
I wanted to get to know her better.
But initially, I couldn't really bring myself to start a conversation with Katelyn. Something was stopping me. Fear.
Not really a fear of what she would say. But really a fear that...
...I wouldn't get any response back at all. That's what scared me most.
Eventually, however, I did start up a good conversation with her. It didn't last as long as I had hoped, but I satisfied, to say the least.
Afterwards, I started talking with her more. For some reason, I would get this small sense of joy whenever she responded.
I don't think I can really consider this to be love or anything like that. No. It isn't. But really just...
I felt happy.
However, that small sense of joy gotten a bit more... Powerful.
I've started to build a sort of attachment to Katelyn.
Basically, whenever I would try to reply to her, I would eagerly wait for some sort of response from her.
And when nothing comes....
I feel this sort of emptiness for some reason. I would feel a bit empty.
Can I call this love? No. I still don't believe that I can call it that. But what *can* I call it, then? Why do I feel this way?
And that's where I'm stuck. I don't know what to do about this. I want to continue talking with her. But what do I do about these feelings?
I hate that this is even happening, but by the time I realized it, it was too late.
I feel like if I just stopped like this right now, I'd only feel worse. It sucks, and I hate it.

Hah... I wonder what Katelyn would do if she were in my position.

What do you guys think I should do? I'm completely lost here.
