Dear Graham,

I've liked you since I knew you existed. When we were both in that play together. I still don't believe at love at first site, but you were-and are-so cute and you had a smile on your face every day.

I was such an uncool dork in middle school but you still would pay attention to me. We even shared cookies eventually.

Then you graduated, and I had to stay back for eighth grade. And I wanted to go to your school SO badly. And you said you wanted me to come too.

I slowly began to realize that you didn't want a relationship, you just wanted hot girls who would pay attention to you.

But I still love you. Love. I've loved you for three years. And you still text me. But we never see each other anymore. And I miss you so much.

When you said you would come to formal with me I literally jumped around and happy danced for five minutes and then responded to you. When you found out you couldn't come...well it's past formal and I'm still shattered. I want to see you. I miss you so so much.

And I know there's probably some other girl out there you are into. And I know your sister probably thinks I'm weird. But I think I just needed to get that out to someone.

Love always,

Brit
