Dear you,

I hate you for being the reason that I am in tears. But, I love you for being the reason for my survival through my most miserable times.

It never occurred to you that I would have fallen for you, or that you would have such a big role in the ongoing story of my life.

'Love at first sight' is the most fabricated quote of all time. However, it is hard to deny being captivated the moment I laid my eyes on you.

Let us take a walk back down memory lane to sixth grade. I sat in the seat right in front of you, which of course made me extremely anxious everyday I went into that class.

I still remember that when you would walk past or even get close, my heart would race and pound loud enough for the entire world to hear, so much that I got light-headed. Every. Single. Time. It's bizarre; I know.

Gradually, you turned into that someone who I would never forget for the rest of my life. You were the one that could make my heart sing but without knowing would also take stabs to my poor heart.

I recall eight grade crystal-clear, when you started dating that girl. The girl who I cautiously avoided, because I understood her true personality very well. She was a creature that thrived on being social, having popularity, and from the start I was skeptical about the relationship. But who was I to judge someone else's relationship.

In the end, you could not handle who she really turned out to be. My heart ached for you when I heard that you two were always fighting and that you were falling apart from the emotional stress.

I was satisfied when you finally decided to get rid of her for good, and hoped that you wouldn't ever meet another one of her kind.

I apologize for falling for you when you had a girlfriend. It was wrong of me, whether the circumstances allowed it or not.

Even now, there are these seldom moments when I find myself reminiscing our every encounter. You became the sun for me, washing away the darkness that clung with a death-grip to me. But because you are the sun, there was no way that I could ever catch you. I watched you from afar, and wished the best for you. I gave you my blessings so that you could find that perfect girl, who would give you the happiness you deserved.

If it was possible, I would trade all of your pain with my happiness, so that you would not have to suffer.

It is funny how I look at guys now, and always compare them to you. Oh, their not as cute, not as sweet, not as considerate... You made a deep imprint in my heart, and I am quite thankful for it. I believe that in loving you, some part of me has matured.

I have recently been having problems again with people making up rumors about me and a guy, but I suddenly realized that this time I don't need to care for what they tease about. Because it will stay invalid no matter how many times they say it, and my priorities stayed as they were.

For someone like me, who is no social butterfly it is hard to know other people. So for me, who found you, I feel very grateful. You are the first to make me feel confident in something. That I loved you. But now, I need to move on.

Note from MissJuliet:

So, how'd y'all like that? It's such a silly crush, but it has the greatest meaning for me. Liking, loving, and letting go sums up how this love went, and it couldn't have had any other outcome. It's all part of growing up that we experience such naive romance, and it sometimes goes bad, like spoiled milk. Or, maybe...it never had a beginning, my unrequited love.
