Hi, I probably won’t reveal who I really am, but we met before. My heart has so much to say more than this and I’ve been keeping these words with me for a long time. I’m not expecting anything, just needed to let them exist somewhere. For reasons I can’t fully explain, I care about you deeply. It’s strange how some people leave a mark on you without trying. I keep a careful distance, not because I want to, but also because I respect your space and the life or space you’re living now. Still, I hope you know that somewhere out there is someone who sincerely wishes you the best in everything you do. I just couldn’t take it anymore, I tried to keep this to myself for so long and it doesn’t fade. I’m sorry.
You probably didn’t realize it, but you became a safe place and a sky I quietly look up to or a precious person I wish to take care to. The care you gave made me more certain of who I am. And in a quiet and unspoken way, you helped bring out the better parts of me.
Please don’t lose your smile. I hope I’m not making you uncomfortable by saying all this, not a kind of weirdo, these are words of a heart that kept them for too long and not bringing this out just because of what so. I’m really proud of you. If life ever feels too quiet or too heavy, I hope you remember that someone once believed in you deeply. Someone who wished to give you a hug, someone who wished they could be there for you; during your difficult days, when you feel sad, to understand you, to show that you are loved, to be there and with you to celebrate when you accomplish something or when your victories arrive, big or small, to listen to you, and stand beside you in those moments. Every person carries their own story, and the world can be heavy, and your light has its own way to still shine.
We may not have much time to truly know each other but I want to say, you ate a wonderful person. You inspired me to write and learn a lot that made me grow as a person. I don’t know what the future God made looks like. Maybe someday we’ll meet as two people who can smile at each other peacefully, in the same sky. I hope this doesn’t cross the wrong way, and choosing to share them is what my heart decided.
Until then, I hope your stars align for you in the ways you deserve. And maybe this is the quiet truth I’ve been carrying all along: I love you.
