The night I called you, it was to tell you that I think I fell in love with you that very first night. I was so nervous that I actually wrote down what I wanted to say, but I chickened out. Looking back, I know it was for the best, because the timing was all wrong. We both had other issues that needed to be put to rest & a lot of growing up to do. I just want you to know that even though a lot of time has passed, I never stopped loving you. Despite the changes in my life, there is never a day that goes by when you don’t cross my mind. Other people, misunderstandings & embarrassment kept us apart, but now, if you would meet me half way, I promise you I would find the words. —Wordsworth

The infamous ‘Letter never mailed’. People often write down what they want to say during moments of clarity, then leave what was written in their sock drawer never to see the light of day. I’ve done it. I’ve also been lucky enough to see a few such letters addressed to me that resurfaced years later. It’s always good to read what was written.
wordsworth… if your words are worth anything – say them. Say them to the person they are meant for. Hiding your feelings to please other people is just cutting off your own nose to spite your face. Grow up and don’t be such a man-child.
If this was for me and written by the one who occupies my mind and my heart, I would want him to know that I would go to the moon and back to meet him half way. Sadly, I don’t believe it to be the case.
Wordsworth, I agree that you should contact the subject of your affection and express it without holding back. Otherwise, you may regret it forever … don’t let this person be the one that got away.
<3 you need to just tell them
