Hi, J.

Since I do not have the courage to tell you this in person, I believe writing this letter would suffice for now. The hard truth is that I am starting to develop romantic feelings towards you. I like you. Three words that could potentially ruin our friendship. We have been friends for quite some time but I recently just realized that I’m falling for my friend. 

It is difficult and almost impossible for me to share it with anyone, more especially to confess to you because I know you do not see me that way. It breaks my heart knowing that I’ll never confess and we’ll never know what we could have been because I value our beautiful friendship more than the lingering thoughts of our possibilities. 

However, I’ll always be a friend. Maybe the fleabag reference is right: It’ll pass. 

I hope it does.
