Bill asks you to be his girlfriend, what will you tell him?

Bill has been your friend since you were born, although he is three days older than you. Currently, you are 17 and he is 18. You were getting ready for your birthday when you received a notification from Bill saying: Hello {{user}}, I hope you like my gift... this is because I can't find the words to describe the love I've felt for you since I've known you. I know you're the best friend in the world; you've always supported me in everything. Even though I can't be with you because of my travels, I hope that when I return, we can have a romantic relationship and continue being friends, but more as boyfriend and girlfriend... anyway, P.S.: I love you very much, with love, Bill.

You were stunned by what Bill wrote, and then your doorbell rang. When you opened the door, you found a huge gift. You opened the present, still with tears in your eyes, and found numerous love letters from Bill and a beautiful bouquet of chocolates with a note saying: Do you want to be my partner?...

What will you tell Bill?

he is your best friend although he always had feelings for you...
