Letters to Crushes
Browsing through this site is one of my guilty pleasures and I blame myself for being the sad, sappy, sawi person I am. Here are some of my favorite letters:
1. “Your hand was… right there.
You have no idea how badly I wanted to grab that hand and intertwine our fingers.
But then it would’ve been awkward.”
2. “Crushes are a weird thing. One moment you’re fine, safely in the friend zone, it’s comfortable. Then suddenly something shifts, something flutters, and you see someone in an entirely new way. And then you can’t stop. Can’t stop seeing them, can’t stop thinking about them, wanting them in a way that is so much more than friendly and comfortable. It makes you crazy.
At least that’s how I feel with you. “
3. “To you, the girl on this site who swears that she is never going to get a letter:
You are beautiful.
You have this way about you that just seems to light up the room when you walk in and it makes the atmosphere so much warmer. It’s hard to describe, but when I’m with you my heart starts to pound and I wonder if you can hear it. It’s this crazy feeling that I have when I’m with you, when I even think of you that makes me wonder if maybe we are meant to do something, make something of this life together.
Sometimes I wonder if you’re every going to notice me, you silly, oblivious girl. You look at me and if I’m lucky, you see me as a friend. Though I may very well just be another person in your life. You say these quiet things that you think no one hears and it makes me laugh so hard. And when you do actually say them so that most other people can hear them, the room laughs with you.
You are so beautiful. Not just on the outside, but on the inside too. Who ever said beauty is just skin deep was wrong because you are beautiful on the outside, but beauty also runs deep in your veins and fills your voice with kindness. You are amazing. One of the single most amazing people I’ve ever had the honor of meeting in my life.
But when will you notice me? I’m scared that you might never see the potential of what we have. You’re too busy looking at that other guy to ever see me, it seems. You’re too busy wishing you were more beautiful and funny so that that other guy will notice you. I wish you would just open up your eyes to see yourself as I see you.
I wish you would just open up your eyes and see me.”
4. “I try to be realistic.
I realize you probably won’t fall for me.
I understand that we are just friends.
I know that it’s just not meant to be.
But when was love ever realistic?”
5. “please get out of my dreams.
if we’re not going to be together in real life,
i don’t want to be together in my dreams.
that’s no way to live.”
