“I tried not to fall for you, I really did. But I can’t stop thinking about you. And me. And I’ve been trying to think of some super romantic way to tell you because I know how you feel about that stuff, but the truth is, I just want you to know. I want you to know that I don’t want to spend another day without you. I don’t want to keep wondering how it feels to kiss you. I don’t want to have to ask for permission to hold your hand or stop over at your house without calling first. I want this—us—to work. And I didn’t think I’d ever want that again.”
