For context... and a bit of a love letter cause journaling also helps:
Having had a crush on a guy for 3 years now. Went from finding him super cute to getting closer to him, becoming friends and falling super hard for him as a person. And developing serious feelings beyond a silly crush.
Yes we are friends... I think
And yes he knows how I feel.
He doesn't feel the same way.
Don't blame him. He can't help it.
You like who you like and you don't like who you don't like.
The emotioms run strong I need somewhere to express it before they eat me alive.
I like him so very much and it hurts. It just hurts.
I feel my heart shattered. Broken in two.
I have tried to move on and pretend I'm fine.
But I need to stop running and lying to myself.
Whenever I try to see or think of other people. Deep down I want them to be him.
And thats why I can't move on.
Is he perfect? No, but I love all his imperfections
Am I just infatuated? Perhaps but I do think I love him as a person.
I am in love with ever aspect of him. Even his little flaws.
I think he is just beautiful.
Not to sound cheesy but like a piece of art.
Of course I would never say that out loud. I don' want to creep him out and make him uncomfy?
I truly do care about him and his emotional well being.
I just wish he would love me the same way. See me the same way.
I have enough pride to want those feelings reciprocated!!!!
I have never been one to state what I wanted, being raised as a woman I was taught not to say what I want...
So its hard for me to admit it loud?
But I have to say it... what do I want?
I want you to be my boyfriend $^^#&@ (not saying his name here)
I want to kiss you and take care of you, to be there for you. Be your rock and have you know you can always rely on me.
Make you never feel alone and abandoned because you will always have me. Know that I will always be by your side and you will never loose my loyalty.
You can trust that I will defend you as other people shit talk you.
I will stabd up for you and defend your honor when you are not around.
I would willingly kiss you in public to show I don't care what others think because I love you and I think you are SO worth it.
We both have social anxiety. I want to be there to comfort you and hold your hand when you are stressed and think others are judging you.
When you don't know where to go from here.
You are scatterbrained like me and yet I want to be a supporr for you, remind you of things not because I think you are incapable but because I want to make life easier for you...
Yes I want to pamper you, fuck what ohers think.
You know Im in love with someone when instead of taking I give so much of myself so willingly.
I want to tell you daily how amazing you are, how smart and funny and handsome and dorky you are.
To hold you close and be able to snuggle you and spend time with you
To make you smile and make you laugh.
To be there when you're sad.
I tried holding onto rumors about you trying to placate my crush on you, but the more I get to know you and the more you prove those rumors wrong the more my feelings for you grow.
Who knew I could have feelings this strong?
I want to grow old with you and get to know you more and more.
I know you have things in your past you are not proud of but so do I.
And I am proud of how far you've come.
I love getting to know the person you are.
