no matter what you try to tell people, this person will ALWAYS be your doug.. even if you deny it.

2.
The boy that you will always feel something for. The stares are normal, and the smiles are somewhat a present. The "I love you" needs to be proven, the conversations need to be jazzed up, and the time needs to be longer. You'll always figure it out somehow. You may fight or disagree constantly or have mixed feelings, yet it works out either way. The feelings move further along even if all that has been given is nothing than a peck on the cheek. You'll never forget the old times together in the sun. This type of Doug, will always be in some part of you.
He is moody and quiet but has the times where you just want to explode from all of their energy. These are the times you love them best. You can say and do mostly whatever you'd like to and they'll join along. This type of Doug is also known to change their wardrobe for your liking. Whether it be from sweatpants to jeans, dirty shirts to clean ones, or t-shirts to polo’s. This type might be known to having a high-pitched voice but to you, anything is good coming from them. They’ll never quite entirely share their feelings for you and it’s frustrating, but you just have to get used to it.
This type of Doug is not talked to many people about. Usually just the one person that you can obviously trust with information and advice. The Doug always goes to them also and shares some of their feelings that they have about you. You might find out all or nothing about the topics that they discuss. You learn to live with it. You have to. This Doug, can drive you insane, yet, you’ll always love them.
