Baby Don't Hurt Me

Ever love someone from afar, yet you never met them? Call it what you want - whether sweet infatuation, or unrequited love. But whatever you call it the reality is this - sometimes we get what we want and sometimes we don't. *********

Dear,

For years I have longed to feel your touch, our hands intertwined and the press of your body against mine while we snuggle under a blanket on a cool, crisp fall evening looking up at a star filled night.

No cost is to great to pay for these simple things. I have admired you from afar, but being the shy guy I am never approached you for fear of being rejected.

It's much easier to keep the dream alive in my head than to have it crushed. Still, I want to make it real. Maybe today is the day I let you know.

A Secret Admirer,
