From: Me
To: Her

_{You don't know who I love.
You ask me and I just smile and say
"Oh just a girl I know."
"Tell me about her!" You smile big.
"Well..." I'm slow to start.
"She's pretty, smart, kind, and has been there for me through a lot. I love everything about her." I'm smiling as I finish, thinking of the one I love.
But I don't want to admit the one detail that could reveal who she is.
The fact that I haven't known her long at all.
It was almost love a first sight.
After talking for a few weeks, hours a day, I fell hard and fell fast.
"Have you told her?" You question.
"How can I? I know she doesn't return my feelings."
"You never know." But the sad truth is: I do know.
"I still wish the two of you the best of luck." You smile as you say goodbye.
I wave back and smile as you walk away.
But what you still don't know
Was who I was talking about.
That the one I love
Is you...}

_{If you know me, you know who this is about. . .

I'm half hoping she'll read this somehow and realize I'm talking about her. . .

Yet at the same time, I hope she doesn't read this. . .}
