To the girl who stole my heart,

You may not know it yet, but you’ve completely stole my heart. Everything about you is perfect in my eyes. Of course you just don’t know it yet. There’s been so many times that I want to tell you everything I feel about you, yet for some odd reason, I don’t. Maybe it’s because I’m afraid it will end our friendship, or maybe I’m afraid you won’t feel the same way about me. Whatever it may be, the fact still remains true that you have captured my heart completely.

Honestly I couldn’t even tell you how it started out. However, I can tell you that at this moment, I want nothing more than to tell you everything that I am feeling. Yet I don’t want to come on too strong so I write them down on a page. Maybe I’ll give you that page one day but for right now I’ll just put it away and save it for some other time.

Maybe I am too invested in waiting for those text replies and snaps on Snapchat. Yet somehow those simple things make my day even greater. When you think that you look your worst without your make-up on, in those late night or early morning snaps, I smile because I got to see true beauty. I get it that sometimes I may try too hard to make myself look better in front of you, but really I’m scared of what you may think of the real me.

I have always heard people saying, “just be yourself and everything else will simply fall in place.” Yet what if that’s not true for me? So I try to look clean and posture perfect when you see me. I make myself the best version of me that I can. Now I realize that this “better” me has become the norm. I make myself better than the day before, all inspired by you. I have shifted my attitude to make the better me, the real me.

One day I will get to tell you how I really feel about you. For right now, I may just be seen as a friend in your eyes. Yet I want to be more than that. There was that one time that I tried to tell you how I felt and you had just had your heart crushed by the one guy that you liked the most. That was hard not only for you but for me. I can honestly tell you that I felt the same way. It upset me that someone could possibly hurt you in such a way that your heart hurt. My empathy level went through the roof for you. Yet I wasn’t discouraged. Maybe if I showed interest in you for long enough, someday you would want to be more than friends. Truth be told, just getting to be friends with you has been such a rewarding experience that I will treasure forever.

I understand that sometimes I may seem like a little too much when I check up on you after you have had a rough night. But I can tell you one thing, if something were to happen to you, I don’t know how I would move on. Again, this may seem like me being too much but really it’s all because you’ve stolen my heart. Just getting to talk to you makes the world around me slow down for a short amount of time. Just seeing you across campus or across the room makes me get those butterflies in my stomach. As I look at you with those not so secretive glances and you catch me, I smile and my heartbeat skips a beat or two.

You may not realize it now, but you’ve stolen my heart completely. One day maybe I will be able to get enough confidence to tell you this but as of right now, I’ll just enjoy getting to be around you. Until that day comes though, I will be here waiting, your hopeful Knight in Shining Armor

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
