I wrote this for her. Now I know you are all thinking, "Letters are lame." That's true but if I don't do it like this, I will never do it.

I thought I would have a real Can’t Hardly Wait (one of my favorite movies) moment, and write you a letter. We have been friends for a long time now so this might be mildly unexpected, but I just wanted to tell you, as bluntly as I could, that I have been so in love with you pretty much since we met two years ago. To me, you are perfect. You are one of the smartest, kindest, best people I have ever met, and it drives me crazy that guys who actually have a chance sometimes can’t see you as I see you. Every day, I look forward to the moment when I get to see you and hang out with you and make you laugh.
As a friend, I love you so much. I have always tried hard to be a good friend, and regardless of the feelings I feel, I have never tried to be anything but your friend. The possibility of losing you as a friend is what has held me back from telling you this for so long.
I understand that what I am saying might offend you or disgust you, things between us might become very awkward, or worse… you might not want to be around me, but it was time to tell you. I hope this letter will be the first step towards recovery.
I don’t want to defend myself and I don’t want to be ashamed about how I feel so I am not going to apologize. Maybe I should… but you are someone worth falling in love with, and I hope you know that. You are someone worth risking it all for, even if it means we can’t be friends anymore. I want to be your friend… and if it takes some time for you to accept this, I will wait for you, as a friend.
If you would like to talk, let me know.

Sincerely,
Marie
