I'm really really sorry, but I have a date. I promise I'll make it up to you.

It's okay, it really is. I wasn't planning on kissing you, or telling you how much I've loved you for years, because I have. I've loved you for years, secretly, as you set me up on dates with thousands of guys, when all I wanted was you. The moment I met you, I wanted you. I didn't know what it was then, but I did. You always make me smile. You're perfect, your laugh, your jokes, your absolutely perfect, and I want nothing more than to tell you, and kiss you, deeply, profess my love to you, grow old with you, but I can't. Because you're my best friend. And you're a girl, a straight girl. But I love you Hannah. I love you more than I ever knew was possible.
