i have never talked to her more than once or twice and never about anything of substance, never made an attempt. as my senior year of high school comes to a close i regret being such a lovesick idiot of a boy and not having the guts to say anything to the most beautiful girl i've ever seen. she's only a sophomore, but her wit is sharp and she knows what she wants in life...which is so admirable.
jeeze there are so many things i wish i could say to her right this second
i mean, conclusively, i am terrified to talk to her for the fear that i'll screw something up...but I'm going to do it anyway
so i guess the only thing worth saying here is that Emily, I think love you
i think we write on here not because we're too afraid to say it to the person it's directed to, but rather we just want someone else to listen and understand
i wish she had x-ray vision so she could see how hard my heart beats when i'm around her.
i secretly love it when people "heart" my letters.
because when they do, i know that someone, somewhere understands me.
you know? if i was a boy, i would totally want a girl like me. i don't know what is wrong with all you.
W,
I was certainly in love with you for several years when everything you did was perfect and lovely to me. I'm probably never going to see you again, and I've grown to be as content as I can with that fact. However, I feel like in the time that we were friends, I forgot to tell you the most important thing:
No matter how far apart we are, regardless of whether or not we ever speak again, I won't ever forget you. You taught me more about friendship and love and life in the time we had together than I will probably ever learn on my own. For the rest of your life and mine, I love you. You're on your way to a life of success and happiness. I can only hope that every once in a while, you'll think of me because I will always be thinking of you.
I don't think I would ever be able to thank you enough.
Love always,
-H
