I know you don’t understand how it is that I’ve so rapidly felt that way about you, and that it was probably more to handle than the sum total of what you’d ever handled before. You were not ready for that. For an emotional outburst that seemingly came from nowhere.

But know that I barely understand it myself. It was a lot for me to handle, too. And I certainly wasn’t more ready for it than you were.

On the other hand, it’s so simple, so common, so human:

Boy liked girl. Boy told girl. 

That’s all.
