Dear Superman,
how are you? Okay, I just laughed at myself as I wrote that. You obviously cannot reply back and I'm pretty sure this letter will never reach you.
I honestly don't know what to say, I just know I had to get rid of how I'm feeling right now. Writing was the first thing that came into my mind.
It's crazy that I still think about you. Every day. When I know you never think about me. Ever since that first day I laid my eyes on you, I have loved you.
It's been two years since I saw you for the very first time. It's a bit weird considering I've probably seen you around when we were at school. But it's like that day, I noticed you and I felt as if you were the only one for me. Sure I saw you around. But that day, was the first day I properly saw you.
Your chocolate brown eyes and your gorgeous smile were the first things that caught my eyes. You looked so happy. I wondered what could be the reason behind that beautiful smile of yours.
And ever since that day, I had slowly begun to fall for you. It was bound to happen. I loved everything about you. Your unbelievable height, your perfect hair, your heart stopping smile.
I got to know you, and I loved you even more. You seemed so perfect. It was surreal. I had felt as if I had found The One.
But I wasn't ready for what happened next. It changed everything between us and I know it can never be the same again. I know now that it wasn't your fault. It wasn't mine either. It was written in the stars; it was bound to happen.
I was simply the girl you knew, probably no one important. The girl who had a "crush" on you. You were probably flattered that someone actually had a full on "crush" on you. The reason I put crush in speech marks is, it was more than just a crush. I fell for you, and I fell hard. But you weren't there to catch me.
It hurts so much thinking about you but I will never forget those moments because they were the best. It's painful to know that you could never feel the same. It's painful to know you love another. It's painful to know that I can never have you.
I won't lie, those two years were the best two years. I had forgotten about my insecurities; all my problems just vanished. It was all because of you. But what I realised was that, even though you got rid of my insecurities, you were my biggest insecurity. You made me think I had a chance with you but I felt so insecure thinking that you could do better. So much better than me.
You're happy now. And I'm happy for you. You finally found someone who loves you for you, who doesn't compare you to others and who will take care of you always. As long as you're happy, I promise that I will try to move on and hopefully be happy one day.
But I thank you for helping me. For making me happier and saving me from myself. You were there whenever I felt down. You were the reason for my happiness. You were my Superman. I will always be the girl who thought the world of you. Remember me.
I will always love you.
Forever yours,
Lucy
