The truth is, Kim, I care about you more than anyone I've ever met. Even if I you don't feel the same about me as I do about you, even if you want to just stay friends, that's ok, but it won't change the fact that I do, and always will love you. Mr. Beaty said that because of the way I was feeling, it means that you're the first person I've ever truly fallen in love with, and, personally, I wouldn't want to have it any other way. I find myself crying in the middle of class because I never get to see you, and when I finally do during lunch for that short 5-10 minutes, my day get's a little bit better. I find myself staying in Algebra to catch up on work as an excuse to be able to see you during activity period. I find myself lovesick, starved and dehydrated because of a loss of appetite. I find myself not being able to concentrate at the simplest things, because you're the only thing that's ever on my mind. I want you to be the person in my life that I can point to when asked who I love, who I would show off to the world when given the chance. You've caused me to cry over 5 times for the first time in 7 years, over 2555 days without crying, and you're worth crying over. I feel like you're the only girl I've ever actually cared about the way I do now, the only person that I would die for.  And with all that, I only have one question left to ask you. Do you feel the same way about me as I do about you? It's ok if you don't, I understand perfectly, but I need to know, it's what is really tearing me up inside, causing my emotions to explode. I'll give you time to think about it, or you can tell me now. I don't want to put pressure on you. The last thing in the world I would want to do is do that.
