dear unrequited like,
a colleague,
and a good friend...
i sit and six feet away from you five days a week for four hours a day. it's been three months since the two of us walked in the rain that day and the one thing i never wanted to happen, did.
i started falling for you. a little further every day since. if i went through every scrap of paper and burned every yearning word i've ever written, i could set the state on fire.
and i would. if i thought i could burn down something big enough to make you love me. if i thought anything would make you want to hear me say your smile makes me dizzy and i've dreamed about kissing you.
that it's impossible to explain how much i love your hands in a way that makes me sound sane. that you're slowly driving me towards insanity!!
i treasure our friendship more than you know and i will stay quiet forever to keep it. i know that somewhere inside you, you know. i'm not very good at hiding my feelings or keeping secrets. but i can see you secretly dreading having to reject me plain as day. so if you don't say anything, i won't say anything.
it is enough to just be around you. you're enough.
i uh. i love you.
yeah...
