I don't think I am ever going to grow the balls to send you this letter. I am
afraid that if I profess my feelings to you that I will be ridiculed or teased
by you and your friends. I know most people here think I'm a promiscuous
person, but seriously, they have only known me for eight months. All these
people know is that I have had a few crushes, but they turned all of them into
sexual encounters. Truthfully, I have not had many, and maybe there's a reason
for that. But, does anyone here have enough guts to ask me why? I did not
think so. There is a superficial layer that everyone sees, including you. This
layer is my skin, my clothes, my music, my voice, and my acting. Did you know
that I've never had this layer before? Nope, this year I became a new person on
the outside, but I'm the same old me inside. The me that you will never know.
I catch you looking at me all the time, when I do, you end up pretending like
you weren't. Give me a break! I know that you look at me, you've been doing it
since the beginning of the year. So, why don't you take a minute and tell me
what you're looking for? I know exactly what I'm looking for when I look at
you, a sign. A sign that you feel the same way I do. A sign that you feel a
weird pull between us. We have only talked a few times, about absolutely
nothing, but, I feel like I know you. I know that I don't. I know that you
don't know me either, so I guess, what I want is a chance. Really if you gave
me two or three hours of your time to get to know me, then I swear you would
understand, and maybe even like me.
Well, I know that is not going to happen. How do I know? Because I am never
going to ask for it. I won't even give you the poem I wrote about you. It's
funny that you said you would marry a girl if she wrote you a poem, because I
wrote that thing three weeks before you said that. Too bad we're leaving in a
week, because we would have made a cute couple.
Love,
Marcie
