Letter #4
May 25, 2013
Dear Amber,
You made me so happy today. I walked you to a few of your classes today, and I just wanted to hold your hand so bad. Then when I met you at your locker to walk you out after eighth period when we got outside I just had to ask. I said, "You should really let me hold your hand". I expected you to tell me you weren't ready, but you amazed me when you held your hand out for me and let me reach for your hand. They fit together perfectly. It felt so right. I'm out. I don't care what people think anymore, and I was proud to be holding your hand in public. But you're not out yet, so I know that had to be hard for you. That was so brave. It meant so much to me that you were willing to do that with all those people around, and that you felt comfortable enough to do that with me. I didn't expect you to let me hold your hand, but I'm so glad you did because I love holding your hand. As soon as you left I already missed felling your hand in mine. I don't expect that to happen all the time, or during school, and I completely understand. I just want you to feel comfortable. But I want you to know just how much that one moment meant to me. That was the first time a girl let me hold her hand in public, and I'll never forget it.
