As You Read The Words I Wrote
Dear Taylor
Forgive me for telling this in a letter, rather than telling you in person, but I feel this is the only way I can use the right words. I need to tell you this, its been killing me inside for a long time. I feel if I let this opportunity go I’ll never forgive myself. So please hear me out.
First of all I need to tell you what our friendship has meant to me. I’ve known you for a long time, but when we became close a year ago I learned so much about that made me appreciate you so much. I’ve never been able to talk to a guy like I can talk to you. I found we have so much in common that I never would have guessed. I’ve learned so much from you. I want to be just like you, because you continue to amaze me everyday.
This is where the hard part starts. I guess I’ve always had feelings for you. They’ve just grown with time. I never know what to expect from you. Sometimes we goof around and you make me laugh so hard. Other times we have serious conversations and you make me see things in ways I’ve never dreamed of before.
When I look at you, you take my breath away and you make my knees weak. I know its cliché, but you make me want to be a better person, to be like you. I want to impress you everyday, the way you impress me with your beauty and your wisdom. What’s not to love about you? You’re a wonderful person inside and out. You’re so strong too. Everything you have, you’ve had to work for and you’ve earned it honestly. I wish I had your strength, and I wish I had you.
All of this makes me appreciate everything we have, and everything we could have. When I see my future, I see you, and I think you have the right to know.
I know this may be a lot for you to take in all at once, and I apologize for that. It was just bursting inside of me, and I didn’t know a better way to get it out. No matter what I need you to know how I feel, whether you share any of the same feelings or not. And no matter what, I still want to be your friend if that’s possible. But in the end all of this is your decision. With all my heart, I’ll be waiting to hear it.
Love, Samantha

Samantha looked up at her computer monitor and re-read the e-mail one last time. She paused for a moment trying to summon all of her courage. Quickly she hit the send button before she could change her mind. She sighed, there was no turning back now.
