Dear First Love

Dear First Love,

I saw you for the first time today. I saw you in the hallway talking to your friends. I fell in love with you today too.

I’ve never been in love before, but I’m certain that I love you.

You were just so perfect - so kind, so handsome, so sweet to everyone. I couldn’t help but fall in love with you at first sight. I never really believed in love at first sight until I saw you.

I asked around and found out your name: Aron. You have such a perfect name - it suits you so well! But I heard that you have a girlfriend. And I’ve seen her - she’s so pretty and amazing. She’s such a nice person that even as a girl who is crushing on you, I can’t help but admire and like her. It also makes me sad though. I’m not even half as pretty or nice or loveable. I wish I was - maybe people would like me then?

I can’t wait to see you again. I know that I can never get close to you, but I really wish I could. I want to talk to you, see you smile, and hear your laugh. I sound creepy, but I mean it. In all of these letters, whether you read them one day or not, I mean every single word.

Sincerely,

H.
