You've seen this from me. There's nothing new. Move along.
I am writing this knowing well that you’ll never read this. But I need to get this off my chest so that I can really move on from you.
I’m afraid I’m at a point where I should stop, because I know that I can’t have anything with you. You barely know me and I doubt if you even give me a passing thought.
But from where I stand, there’s a completely different story. I can’t count the hours I’ve spent thinking about you. There’s been numerous days when you were the only thing in my mind is you, and your eyes, and your smile. I know so much about you. Yes, I concede, that sounds scary. But I never had an illusion of anything happening between us. I know my limitations well enough to write this. I know I’m grasping at straws here.
But you know what, I love you. I love you with all of my being. I love you unconditionally. I love you so much that I need to stop this.
I see your photos, yup that online stalking thing really works, and every time I see you with her, holding her hand and kissing her. I can’t help but smile.
I smile because you’re happy, I see that in you, and I smile at my foolishness, hoping and praying for something that exists only in my mind.
I think I’m smart enough to recognize that I’ve fallen for my idea of you. You see, I’ve heard so much about you that I feel that I know you. I love my idea of you. I’m sorry if that sounds stupid, but it’s true. It’s the only real thing that I know right now.
Though I love you, this needs to end. I need to stop hurting myself. I need it for my own sake.
I guess this will be difficult, because I can’t seem to find the strength to stop looking at your Facebook page and Instagram account (most millennial thing you’ve read!), but I need to soldier on.
A huge chunk of the past decade was spent on my inexplicably convoluted attraction to you, but it needs to end now.
Just help me out on this and bear with me.
I love you, I guess that’d never change. But I need to get past this.
