I really need courage. I really want to walk up to you and start a conversation, but, for some reason, I cannot seem to gather up the courage to do so. I want to joke around with you, and see you smile. I want to talk about life, our backgrounds. I want to get to know you.

But I really need courage. I do not know why, but I look at you, and I get scared. No... "Scared" is not the correct word. Nervous is probably the closest word to describe it. I get "butterflies" in my stomach. I know it sounds cliche, but there is a reason why people say it. I want to talk to you, but I feel like I won't be good enough. You are so beautiful and sweet, and I don't feel like I can even think that you would feel similar to me.

I'm sorry if you feel like I creep you out. I don't mean to make you feel that way. I try to stop staring at you, but your eyes are like magnets. I know... that sounds creepy. I'm sorry.

But if there is the slightest chance that you are interested in me, I don't want to risk it. That's one of the reasons why I can't talk to you. I feel like I will say one thing wrong, and you will think I'm the worst. Of course, if I never speak to you, I will still look creepy as heck. So, I guess one day I will gather the courage. I just hope that you will accept me, even as a friend.

By the way... Happy Valentine's Day!
