Love Letter

Dear Joseph,

   You may not know me, or really notice me at school, but I wanted you to know that I have feelings for you. Ever since I saw you on the first day of school, something triggered in my head, and I felt something I don't feel for many people. I don't know you, or you story, but there's something about you that keeps drawing me in.

   Loving you also makes me feel sad and mad. I hate you because you don't know how much you mean to me. I know, it's very confusing, but every time I try to rid you of my head, you keep coming back and it frustrates me. My friends tell me you're no good and I should find someone else. What's worse is that part of me believes it. But part of me believes you're actually worthy of loving.

   You're a popular ladies man and you play basketball and have a lot of friends. I'm a crazy girl(around my friends) and I'm hyper and I'm a clown, but that's what people I don't know see me like. I feel like I'm just a weirdo in your eyes and you don't have time for me. I just want you to know the other side of me that many neglect to try to find. I'm talented, creative, ambitious, and a hopeless romantic. I may not have the beauty of many girls, but at the least, I would like a little attention. I know I should get all worked up. I should just go up and talk to you and be confident, but that's the problem. I'm not confident. I'm not something the boys like or what they look for. I've learned to just deal with it, but I get sick and tired of falling for guys like you who don't look beyond the surface. That's what I want you to do. Just look beyond the surface and maybe you'll find that girl. Maybe I'll find that guy. But this isn't just a highschool crush that I'll just get over with any day. This is more than that, and I times I feel like the feeling is mutual, but I know it's not. But I just wanted you to know, that there's actually someone out there who loves you more than most can, and to see if you're willing to look beyond the surface.
