A not too long ago.

To whom it may concern,

I love you, you love me.
I love you, not in a friendly way.
Although I think we are great friends and not in a misplaced attraction puppy dog way,
although I'm sure that's what you'd call it.
I love you, very simple, very truly,
you are the epitome of everything that I've looked for in another human being,
and I know,

you think of me as just a friend
and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you'd ever consider.
But I have to say it. I just can't take this anymore.
I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you,
I can't look into your eyes without feeling that
longing you only read about in trashy romance novels,
I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are and
I know this will probably queen our friendship,
but I had to say it cause I've never felt this way before and I don't care.
I like who I am because of it.
And if bringing this tonight means that we can't hang out anymore,
then that hurts me, but God, I couldn't allow another day
without getting it out there regardless of the outcome,
which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot down and you know I'll accept that.
But I know, I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment
and if there is a moment of hesitation then that means that you feel something
too and all I ask is that you please not dismiss that and please try to dwell on it for just 20 seconds.
There isn't another soul in this planet who has made me half of the person I am when I'm with you.
And I'd risk this friendship for a chance to take it to the next plateau
because it's there between you and me, You can't deny that.
Even if we never talk again after tonight,
please know that I am forever changed
because of who you are and what you've meant to me.

Myself
