This guy that I’ve liked for so long ( 9 months. And 2 weeks ) doesn’t like me back but he sends the wrong signals

Ok so I’ve been with this dude forever he’s been by my side and the light of my day. He’s always saying I’m his but not in that way. Always confusing me. Commenting on the littlest things like oh you eyes look so pretty today , I like that shade of lip gloss on you, you should wear your hair like that more often. At one time I reached the point where I cried my self to sleep. Right now I’m at a point where I write songs about him . I am a song writer than actually good Im going to be making a cd all kinda about *Him* so. And I just don’t get him he says he loves me but not like hay he’s always asking for hugs and I just wanna move on but I can’t I always come back to him !! :(
