To the best friend I fell in love with,

Ever since I met you, you have been someone I could always count on. Someone who I could call crying because of a family problem, someone who I knew was always going to answer and do everything they could to make sure that they made me happy and calm again. You didn’t always know what was wrong, but it didn’t matter.

I met you when we were young and stupid, you were into me but I was into someone else. You dated other people and I stayed back and tried to be the best friend that I could be to you, as hard as it was.

I watched you have your heart broken multiple times by girls who did not deserve you. I sat with you as you cried when you found out you had been cheated on.

When I look in your eyes, I don’t feel anxiety. I can see how much you care about me. When you hug me, I feel like I’m in the safest person in the entire world, that nothing can touch me without getting through you. You can make me laugh like no one else in the world. I love the fire I feel when we kiss or when we touch.

I want to be with you now, I want to be the last person I see before I shut my eyes, and the first one I see when I open them. I want to take a leap of faith with you and just see what happens, because I believe that this could be the ride of a lifetime. I just don’t know how to tell you. That I love you.

From, the best friend who hopes you feel the same.
