Open Letter to My Crush

Dear Ryan* (*name changed),
I like you - I mean I really like you. I've known you for two years now and I've pretty much fallen for you over and over again every day.
It's your smile, that dimple. Your kindness, intelligence, it's just you.
Our lockers are right next to each other. So I'd see you everyday. Everyday is wait for chance to say something to you. Maybe make you smile.
Sometimes I go to bed and dream about you. Sometimes I wake up in the morning get in the shower and smile in my giddy, shy way that I am around you.
When I donated my hair, I hoped you noticed. When I caught you looking at me in class, I hoped you saw me look down and smile at myself.
I never worked up the courage to ask for your number. I never got to tell you that I like you.
Ryan. I like you. A lot. I love you.
Maybe I'll never get to tell you because I'm too nervous. That's how I get around you. Nervous, yet hopeful.
I love you Ryan.
