what can i say? it's been a few days and i don't think i'm getting close to being over you. i didn't think it would be this hard. i didn't think that opening myself would be this hard to do. when i told you how i felt, you responded so well. i was surprised. i can see you now--slight smile on your face, quizzical look--and i know you're wondering why i said that.

well, i've told other guys how i feel. and they've never returned my feelings. call me the unrequited love girl. you're the first one who's, well, who's felt something of what i feel. you know i even debated whether or not i should tell you? 'cause i wondered how i could say it without messing up. and i wondered how i could tell you without seeming too well, emotional... cause i know guys aren't too good with emotional girls.

some guys clam up when a girl gets "emotional". some run. some disappear. some get psycho. anyway, none of it helps. rather it hurts. i'm glad you didn't hurt me.

maybe that's one of the reasons why i like you. and why i can't get over you.
