I feel that writing you a letter would let me express how I feel and say things to you I cannot in person.
It is difficult for me to express my feelings properly, therefore most of the time I keep them bottled up inside. Even when you ask me if I am alright, I try to brush my feelings away and pretend I am fine. You always know I am not, I feel vulnerable that you can see through me.
But only you care enough to ask me again and again. I hate how I cannot express how I really feel, what was wrong, what made me upset and frustrated. I am confused and torn with how I feel for you. I care about you deeply and I have feelings for you I don’t really understand. You are very important to me and I intend keep having you in my life.
It is very hard for me to let go of my feelings for you. I miss you, I miss kissing you and holding you like I use to. I don’t just want to sleep with you just because! I am still attracted to you and I miss the connection, the attention and care you gave me before I left. Seeing you and spending time with you makes it hard and those feelings resurfaced. Just like last time I stayed with you and when I stayed at your place the other night.
I know we are better being friends and we have talked about this briefly.
I cannot control when these feelings resurface and I become so confused and flustered. I fell for you and your little silly ways without knowing it.
I would never be able to say any of this in front of you, maybe because deep inside I know my feelings have always been one sided. I know you feel guilty because you don’t feel the same way and care the way I want you to. And it hurts to know this every time I am with you and when I see you.
Meeting you and then leaving Canada made me realise what I cherish in life, what I value and want to achieve. I want to love and be loved, care and be cared for, I want to have and build a family. I want to have a life where I am happy and make someone happy everyday. From you I have gained different outlooks from my experiences. I realised what I want in life and what is important to me, yet I don’t have the courage and confidence to fight for it.
One day I will be fearless, I will have the courage to fight for what I want.
I know we will keep in contact and we can be friends the way we should.
