The Day I met Him..

Why I feel like this:

Dear Yovanny,
Our friendship is something I've held dear for 4 years now. We met in 8th grade and it still amazes me that here I am a junior and we're still friends. Best friends. Since the day we met you've always been nothing but a gentleman. You've been there for me through tough times in which I felt my world was going to fall apart. I felt like I was going to fall apart with it, but i didn't. You helped me. You were kind and made me laugh. You made me smile and even got me to forget about my problems even if it was for just a few moments. I don't know when it is that my feelings for you started. I do know tho that they got stronger and stronger day by day, week, by week, month by month, and year by year. For the past 4 years you've been by my side and I couldn't be more grateful for you. I remember how last year you would let me lay my head on your shoulder or that you would let me use your sweater as a pillow. I remember how you were in a relationship with one of our friends. You really loved her and I was so happy for y'all. It kind of hurt though when I saw how she hurt you. The days you were sad and cried. I was there. I wanted to hold you and tell you that you shouldn't cry. That things would get better. But I knew I couldn't. This made me sad because there were so many moments I wanted to tell you how I feel, but I knew you had her.
    Now you're single, but I barely get to see you. We're both always busy. Me with my AP classes and homework and work with my parents and siblings. You with work, homework, and football. It sucks to be honest because I just want to be like before when I got to sit by you on the bus and we would mess around and talk about our days. I miss not getting hugs from you and picking on you. But now I've written you a letter and I still haven't got back your response. This scared me but I mean, hey, it takes all of us a bit of time to put down our feelings on paper or text. I was terrified when I wrote your note. I felt like I was being dumb and should give up. I realized though that that would be wrong of me to do. Because if we have a shot at being something, then I'll take it. I'll be here to give you the hugs and kisses you want on a bad day. I'll be here to listen to your worry and doubts and remind you that to me you have no flaws. I'll be here to take care of you like the best friend I am.
