• To write things simply, as simply as they can be written, I am writing to tell you I like you. Okay, I acknowledge, it’s childish and immature (especially since I’m not going to sign it) but for once in my life I like someone so much that I am afraid. I cannot tell you in person because I am too afraid. And I know that you’re kind enough that if I did tell you, you’d say "thank you" and "I’m flattered," rather than ignore or insult me. However, my fear is greater than me this time and I am not brave enough to tell you.

    It is pleasant to get a “love letter,” no? Maybe that’s just me because I wish someone would write one to me. But just as I am too afraid to tell you, the majority of this fear, being that of rejection, you too have likely been afraid of rejection in your own time. So, hopefully you won’t think this too weird.

    I won’t go on and on as to why I like you. That would be silly and mushy and I don’t want to do that. But I will try to tell you in part why I like you. Or I suppose I'll just say it...

    ...I like you!
