letters to crushes

if you're not going to tell them...
may as well tell everyone.
your crush
your letter
your name *
* optional.

no full names, please - just initials or nicknames.

the best letters are hopeful and positive. bonus points for humor. let's make this a happy/sappy collaboration, not a heart-breaking one. (if heartbroken is your thing, check out our sister site, letters from the crushed.)

thanks & good luck,
seth

jb,

yesterday, we shared a cab with two others. we sat next to each other. we didn’t speak (much).

but skin touching skin, your knee resting against mine, the whole time i didn’t look at you, i was thinking to myself that i would like to feel this comfortable, every day.

to the most Confusing Girl,

You confuse me beyond belief and I hate that I can’t seem to get you. You’re so different from everything I like that it is so wrong and yet, it somehow feels so right. You beat me at everything I’m good at and it kills me but it’s okay and I let it go with a smile you don’t see. We talk in circles for hours on end and though you confuse me more and more, I hate when we have to leave…

Everytime we bid each other good night, I still see and dream about you. I wonder and hope that you dream about me too. Maybe in our dreams, we’ll meet and you won’t be so confusing anymore.

— Boy that’s under your spell

I didn’t think lending pens was special until you lent me yours.

B,

I don’t know what to do. Everyone’s telling me we would look cute together. They’re telling me to go for it and spill out my feelings for you. But how am I supposed to do that when you’re so unapproachable? You have that untouchable aura, maybe even a wall surrounding you. I can’t get across it.

Maybe one day you’ll build a door and leave it open. So I can confess.

S,

you confuse me more than differential equations. you send the most random, mixed signals ever and it frustrates me more than traffic in the city on the night of an orioles game, but i can never keep my mind off of you. your smile, your smell, your laugh, your eyes, the way our bodies fit together perfectly for the best hugs ever. it’s been over three years since i started feeling this way and trying to make you see it. when will you realize that we’d be good for each other?

— M
