today was an experience of a life time. I said goodbye to a familiar friend. a best friend. And someone I fell completely in love with. It seems like yesterday I saw you for the first time in front of your dirty locker, disheveled and looking for homework. Today, I saw a life long best friend- someone who I truly find beautiful, resilient and full of knowledge.

Confessing love is not easy, but it is a positive thing. If not a reciprocated feeling, at least you did something positive. You love someone, and that’s a good thing for the world. It’s a hard time, but I hope the future holds great times.

I should be earning my trip to Chicago here soon to come see you. I just want to thank you… for being a real person to me, telling me I am fun and beautiful. No one has ever shared such fun with me and told me I was all these pretty things. You make it seem like it’s easy for me to be a beautiful person- and I have never felt that way.

from the bottom of my heart, I love you. And I will see you soon. (write me letters!)

PS. I find it hilarious this song came on the radio as I was driving you home.
