dear person i had a crush on around this time last year
i still think you’re cute, and mysterious, and fantastic, and clever, and incredibly sexy.
i’ve thought you were cute since i first met you when i was a freshman and you were a sophomore; and we talked about bands we liked. but after that one day, we never talked again.
i don’t know how, but we started talking again suddenly last year when you broke up with your girlfriend of two years. i don’t know how it happened, honestly. but i remember we talked about things we liked, like foreign candies and music and books and philosophy.
we had (have?) a lot in common, but i don’t think you were looking for something to commit to at the time. i was torn between you and my actual ex-boyfriend addison, but 3 of my friends convinced me to give addison a chance (totally biased opinion. i ended up making the wrong decision; he was such a waste of time, and besides, what did they even fucking know?); but even after that, you still texted me periodically about nothing in particular, just little things that you knew would get my attention.
you have a fantastic laugh.
you once let me borrow a book. i thought it was so thoughtful, because you said to me, “i’m reading something that i think you might enjoy. i’ll let you borrow it once i’m done”, and i really did enjoy it a lot. it was called “you’re an animal, viskovitz!” there was one excerpt from the first chapter we still to this day randomly send to each other that read:
“i made her as beautiful as sleep, as seductive as a yawn, and as soft as a pillow.”
i really did like you. one of the other reasons i chose addison over you was because i started becoming very close friends with your ex-girlfriend, and y’all had a really messy break-up. in the end, i don’t regret it, though.
if we had dated, i would not have been such good with friends with her; and as a result of that, i would never had been introduced to evan, and i wouldn’t be dating him now.
still, you are a wonderful boy, and i still think about you sometimes, because i have never met someone who i have so much chemistry and common interests with.
hope lubbock is treating you well, sir!
ps, nice beard. no sarcasm. your beard is awesome.
