Hey You. I know we don't talk as much as we used to and that's on me. It has been so hard to be around you lately because I've been holding onto a secret for some time now. I have feelings for you. I always have. You've been unavailable for so long and I never wanted to get in the way of what I assumed was happiness. But now you're saying you're thinking about getting back in the game, maybe even trying online dating and I can't hold it in any longer. I think you are the most wonderful person I know. You're compassionate, gentle, kind, and so smart. You make me laugh harder than anyone else. I have so much fun when we're together. I hope this doesn't come as a shock. I don't want to lose our friendship but I know if I didn't take the chance, now, I never would. I hope you feel the same. I hope we can have a future together and, at the very least, see if there's something there. Yours, ME.
