My friend, my dear sweet friend. The only guy I've been this close to. I know something you don't know. Do you want to know? This secret I carry and my high thoughts of you. No, I can't confess to you in person, but I can write my feelings on paper and maybe someday I can show you. So know, that while I write these words I'll be thinking of you, and hoping that maybe you feel the same.

So would you like to know now? You've probably already figured it out, you're smart. I do like you! Very much so. You told me once "The last two girls I liked hated me. What girl could ever want me?". I sat there and tried not to yell, "I would! I would!". You think you'll never be wanted, but the girl who's standing right in front of you does, you just don't know it. You carry yourself high in public, but I know you have your days. You tell me some things you hate about yourself, but they are some of the parts of you that I adore.  You said you hate your face, but I think it's so adorable. You have the cutest face, and such a great smile.

While I'm on your qualities, maybe I should just keep going. You have a wonderful personality. You're so kind and whenever you give me a compliment a warm feeling grows in my chest. You're funny in so many ways. From jokes you say to the way you jokingly tease me about my height. Your playful nature wakes the cheerful child in me.  Nothing we do is weird for us.  Chasing each other around buildings is normal, playing sword fight with each other is normal, sneaking up on each other is normal.  We're not to old to be childish and carefree.  

While you can be carefree you can also be serious.  I can tell you everything, and you'll always listen.  You always make me feel better, even if it's just a little bit.  I can never think badly of myself while talking to you, because I know you think differently.  You've told me you'll protect me from whoever hurts me.  You're the knight in shining armor, I've always been looking for.  

If only you could see this, my heart poured onto a page.  I don't want to be selfish, I already have a wonderful friendship with you.  Texting until midnight and a bond of trust, these are some of the things I don't want to lose.  I feel so selfish, wishing for more, and I tried to stop myself.  But I can't, I just can't.  So I'll wait and I'll hope, and if there can't be anymore between us then I'll just be your forever friend.
