Dearest Girly,
About a year ago I saw you in Spanish class. We were on different sides of the room and I didn't feel like walking over there. We didn't really talk.

2 months ago, I met you after school. I saw you talking to a person we both know, and we kept talking for a while. Ultimately, that Friday before break, you asked me for my Instagram, because you "thought I was funny." One of your first questions was, "Are you single?" I was geeked but I had to wait for a while because I was still fairly new to this all.. Is 5 talking stages "fairly new?"

When I called you, you were fixing a scooter you had gotten for your birthday, and then we just kept talking from there. During break, and into the new year, we just kept talking. Then we arranged a date to this skating rink I know. I saw you inside and you had already paid for yourself.

We kept talking. And then you asked to be my girlfriend. I wanted to wait a little longer, so we went a couple more rounds of skating. Then you guys had to go, so you asked again. And I said yeah. From there, we've been together for like. A month and ... 10 days? Not bad progress.

We've shared stories and hugs with each other. Never thought I'd get this far. But you share your thoughts with me. Not necessarily your thought process all the time, but you're working on it, and you're helping me work on my communication, and I really appreciate that.

I appreciate that you even feel comfortable enough to share and vent to me. I get it, yeah, I'm your boyfriend, but the trust of it all is something else.

I really wanted to pick you up to see if I can... still pick people up. You said "later" for a while. Then you let me do it yesterday. Full faith and trust in me. And I didn't drop you like undertaker, so.. win.



You have faith in me. More than I could ever reciprocate or put into words on a screen or letter. And I love you for that.
