Dear high school crush,

First of all, could you have been any more oblivious? After all the note passing, homeroom hangouts, and super long nightly phone calls, I thought you'd get the hint dude. But that's beside the point. We were great friends and who would want to ruin that over a crush? Especially a crush that may not even be reciprocated. Obviously, I didn't want to risk it for the biscuit, but the thought of what could have been coming to mind pretty often.

During most of the high school, you had my life feeling like a music video for Taylor Swifts "You Belong With Me". When you dated my friends, it was the worst kind of torture imaginable and I couldn't help but think, "Hello! I'm right here in front of you." Yes, my inner monologue was distressed, but I would never let you see me sweat. After all, we were friends above all else and when you wanted advice, to joke around, or talk abut absolutely anything, I was always there to contribute.

Once senior year rolled around we had drifted apart. Unfortunately, that's what happens when you grow up. Still crushing from afar, I digested the fact that soon enough we would go our separate ways completely. And that we did....

Now we are both in college miles away from the other, but I often think of you. You are the high school crush I never got over, but you were also a best friend and for that, I will be forever grateful. There are some things that you come across in life that you simply never get over and for me, I'm glad that's you.

Sincerely,

Your Secret Admirer
