These are from a Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul book, with the authors at the end, I though they were really cute so take time and read it!

Dear Boy,

I do not know who you are, or where or when we will meet, but I do hope it is soon.

I pray that when we meet and fall in love, you will love me, for me, and not hopefor someone who is thinner or prettier. I hope you won't compare me to girls who may have brighter smilers. I hope that you will make me laugh, take care of me if I get sick, and be trustworthy.

I hope you will remember that I prefer daisies to roses, and that my favorite color depends on my mood. Please know that my eyes aren't blue, they are grey, with flecks of navy.

Please know that I might be too shy to kiss you first, but please don't be afraid to kiss me. I won't slap you or push you away. I'm sure your kisses will be perfect. When we go on a date, please don't stress about where to take me; what's important is that I'll be with you.

If I cry, please know it isn't because of you, just hold me close, and I'll heal quickly/ And, itf it is becauseof you, I will heal just the same.

And if we decide to break up, please understand that I may be bitter, but I'd like to be your friend if you'll let me. I promise to remember that you have feelings too, even though you'll never admit it, and when you are ready, we'll have a friendship.

Please tell me if anything I do bothers you, or if something just don't sit right. I would like you to always be honest with me. If I have a bad day, I hope you will shower me with confidence and smiles.

I hope you don't think I'm asking too much of you. I hope you understand that I'm a little bit nervous and very scared. I wish I could tell you how or when we will meet, and if we will be in love forever. Every relationship is a new game of cards, and..... (sigh) .... I've never been good at cards. But I will try my best to be kind and love you dearly for all that you are, without excpecting too much from you. Thank you for listening; this is all that I ask.

Yours Always,
Sarah

Dear Girl,

I feel that the time has some for me to have a girlfriend. I know you're out there somewhere. Don't worry, I'll find you.

And when I do, I hope that you will loove me because I'm Derek, not because I'm Mike's younger brother. I hope you won't be embarrassed when my clothes don't match, or be annoyed when I want to watch the Lakers on ESPN, instad of Party of Five.

I hope that you will remember I play soccer, not football, and I play mmidfield, not defense, and that every weekend I live with my dad.

I pray that you'll love me despite my tendancy to forget birthdays, and if your parents invite me to dinner, please write their names really small on my hand so I can use it as reference.

Please know that I will constantly act strong and in control, but inside I am actually lost and confused. (Just don't tell my friends.) Please don't tell worry if I hurt myself skateboarding. Instead, be there to mend my wounds with kisses.

Understand that loving eachother means being together, but not all time. We should never bail on our friends. Also understand that I may at times act jealous and overly protective, but only because I have insecurities not because of you are doing anything wrong.

And if we fall out of love with one another, please don't hate me. And if I cry in front of you, please don't laugh at me. Please know that I am sensitive... in a manly, tough kind of way.

Please be honest with me without being hurtful. After all, I am a boy. And I promise to always be honest with you, because you deserve honesty. And I promise to open doors for you and buy your ticket when we go to the movies.

And no, you aren't fat, so please don't constantly ask. And you don't need makeup either. Oh, and don't be upset if you cut your hair and I don't notice. I will love you even in Levi's and a T-shirt.

I hope you don't think I'm asking too much of you. I just want to be happy making you happy. I'm coming to find you, so don't go anywhere. Stay where you arem whoever you are. And by the way, my name's Derek.

Your's Always,
Derek
