Dear You,

I've always wanted someone to notice me for me.

Someone to understand who I really am.

Someone to be interested in me.

I'm glad you could see

That I'm not like the rest.

No, I'm different.

You're different, too.

You're one of a few

Nice guys,

The ones who finish last.

You're not last in my eyes,

You're not one to tell lies

Or make me feel bad.

You'd tell the truth,

I know you would.

And you should

Not give up on me.

Please, not yet.

I've liked you for a long time.

We can make it through this climb

Together.

Me and you.

I like the way those words roll off my tongue.

Remember, we're not too young

To fall in love.

Believe me,

I may have messed up in the past,

But because I was afraid we wouldn't last

Forever.

I was nervous, I was shy.

But I've wanted to take the chance

Since that first glance

On the bus my freshman year.

I hope you don't think that I don't like you,

Because I do.

I want to be with you

While we grow older.

I want you to know how grateful I am that you're in my life.

And that I've liked you from the start.

I think I knew that deep down in my heart

I wasn't ready then.

I'm ready now.

I think you can see.

Forever, Me.
