Girl,
Nothing makes me happier than when our fingers become entangled, the way vines criss-cross together. Even if it's just for a moment. Even if we're just friends. Even if I'll never forget the way that you make me feel, I guess you could say that during these times, I feel free.

Breaking the stupid patterns, right....now.
This time, things will be different.
Dear friend,
I don't have a crush on you. But I do recognize that you are funny and young and talented, and it always broke my heart to see you heartbroken. So please consider this a letter from all the girls who would have loved you, had that river not swallowed you whole. Because in that moment, some poor girl somewhere lost the love of her life before she even had the chance to meet you.
you are so attractive and your voice is attractive and you're an artist which is attractive and you like good music which is attractive and you're so nice which is attractive and we share the same values which is very very attractive and you hugged me tonight which was
needless to say
attractive.
And sometimes, when I'm not too busy being angry or strong or even happy for letting you go, I just feel sad. Because I miss you.
Butterfly,
Last night you and I went for a walk. We walked down a path through a semi-wooded area. It was a little before sundown but everything was still well-lit enough to see. It was just the two of us, walking side by side. My arm was on your shoulder and I pulled you close. You hugged back. I couldn't stop myself from continually smelling your hair. The fragrance was almost addicting. Then suddenly, something approached from behind; I don't know what it was, but I know it scared you. I suppose when it saw you get closer to me it was scared and left because when I turned to look it was gone but in that moment when you clutched my arm and buried your face in my chest I was the strongest, most powerful man in all the world. I was fearless. I would have done anything to protect you, no harm could have befallen you. We continued walking for a little, back to our normal hug-walk.
Then I woke up.
I don't know where we were going but you're the only person I want to go there with.

when you're around
you're the only thing i can see
it's as if someone Dumbledored all the lights out.
you're smart and musical and funny and friendly and so nice and the more I think about you the more I realize that you're everything I want in a boy.
but even though it isn't public on every social networking site I know you have her and even though I suspect she doesn't like you quite as much as you like her I know that's probably just me distorting things out of a hope that refuses to die
because in my dream last night you were still with her and I was with someone else who I didn't even know and somehow you noticed me and then it seemed like we were going to actually really finally be together and that hope seemed so much more real for the splinters of a few minutes
and then I woke up.
and today I have to go see you at band where I know you're only being friendly to me because you're the kind of guy who spreads sunshine wherever he goes.
you make me smile.
she smiles all the time anyway.
I'm going to try my best to move on because I can't stand being jealous, it feels like I'm trying to jinx it and even if somehow you two broke up you like her so much and I would hate to see you so sad.
so keep it up. you two are cute together. I'm glad you're happy.
bring her sunshine.
when you're riding in the car with me, I drive a few miles under the speed limit. partially because I want to spend as much time with you as possible, but mostly because I want to make sure you're safe.
