Day 2 (nonsequential)

Dear Crush,

I'm doing this thing where I write letters to thirty different people in my life with specific relationships to me--like my best friend or my parents, for example.

You are Day 2: Write a letter to your crush.

I've known you for about seven years. Actually, a correction: I met you seven years ago, we talked a lot the first year, then almost nothing the last six years--not even hello's.

I knew I liked you immediately. It may seem shallow to first mention looks, but that's usually the first thing most people notice about each other. It's kind of like a greeting before the greeting. The first thing you said to me before speaking was: "Look at me--I'm cute, adorable, and gorgeous." I don't think you're vain enough to say these things out loud, but you're definitely smart enough to know it. People tell you all the time how pretty you are! Every picture you post on Facebook gets comments about your beauty. This doesn't bother me much though; those people are only verifying what I know.

You're a cheerful person. I like that. You're also adventurous and love to hike. More things I like. You've got a good sense of humor on top of a sharp mind. You're kind and warm. You're loving and affection. You're friendly and you give comfort when needed. But these are things you already know about yourself.

Now I kind of dislike this letter because it seems like I'm gushing out verbal gobs of gooey, sticky emotion. I'm not trying to, really. These are just some things I've noticed about you. Feel free to correct me at any time by refusing to finish this letter.



Too late.
