Dear Girl Across The Room

I’m writing this to you so I may thank you for some of the best awkward eye contact I have ever graciously received. Whether you are looking at me because you can’t help it or because I’m frightening you, I guess is still up for debate.

I see you twice a week now for about an hour, and I think you just might be the best thing in my life. I’ve never spoken a word to you, and truthfully I don’t think I ever will, but I want you to know that there’s something about you I just can’t shake. Sometimes, I feel as though the entire world is filling me up inside me and I could have just enough boldness that I may walk across what feels like a battlefield to you and ask you for your name. But I’ve never been someone who could do something like that, I wish I was but I’m not. I wonder if you think the same things? Unfortunately, I won’t ever know as I won’t be sending this letter to you. So I guess I can say the things that I would never actually be able to say, for example-

“Hello.”

Or

“Some weather we're having, huh?”

Or

“I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s ever told you this, but I think there’s something spiritual about your eyes.”

Or even

“Could you peer edit my essay?”

Well, I’ve got to get going, I’ve many more letters to write that I’ll never send. I’m sure there’s some poetic nature about that, but it’s lost on me.

Yours truly, me.

P.S. Do we have class next week?
