Why I Can't Stop Thinking About You

I've been struggling with something for a while now, and I can't keep it to myself any longer. I can't stop thinking about you, and I don't know why.

It's not just a passing crush or infatuation. I've had those before, and they usually fade away with time. But with you, it's different. It's like my mind has been consumed by thoughts of you, and I can't shake them off no matter what I do.

I've tried to rationalize it, to find reasons why I feel this way. Maybe it's your smile, or your laugh, or the way you look at me. Maybe it's the way you make me feel when I'm around you. Or maybe it's something deeper, something I can't put into words.

All I know is that I feel a strong connection with you, even though we've only known each other for a short while. Every time we talk, I find myself wanting to spend more time with you. Every time we part ways, I feel a pang of sadness in my heart.

I don't know if you feel the same way about me, or if you see me as just a friend. But I had to tell you how I feel, because keeping it bottled up inside was driving me crazy.

I know that this might come as a surprise to you, and I don't want to make things awkward between us. I just had to be honest, because I value our friendship too much to hide my feelings.

If you don't feel the same way, that's okay. I understand that love is a complicated thing, and that it can't be forced. But if you do feel the same way, then maybe we can explore where this connection between us leads.

I want to be with you, to share my hopes and dreams with you, to laugh with you, and to grow with you. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I can't stop thinking about you.

Thank you for being such an important part of my life, and for making every day brighter just by being in it.

After I sent the letter, I felt both relieved and anxious. I had finally expressed my feelings, but I didn't know how you would react. Would you feel the same way about me, or would you be surprised and uncomfortable?

Days went by, and I didn't hear from you. I tried to keep myself busy, but my mind kept wandering back to you. I wondered if I had made a mistake, if I should have kept my feelings to myself.

But then, one day, I received a text from you. My heart skipped a beat as I read your message. You thanked me for being honest, and you told me that you needed some time to process your thoughts and feelings.

I understood completely. I didn't want to push you into anything or make you feel uncomfortable. I told you to take all the time you needed, and that I would be here for you no matter what.

Days turned into weeks, and I didn't hear from you. I started to worry that I had ruined our friendship, or that I had made things awkward between us. But then, one evening, you asked to meet up.

We sat down at a coffee shop, and I could tell that you were nervous. You took a deep breath, and then you said something that made my heart race.

"I've been thinking a lot about what you said," you began. "And I realized that I feel the same way about you. I can't stop thinking about you either."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My heart felt like it was going to burst with joy. You took my hand, and we talked for hours, about our hopes and dreams, about our fears and insecurities, and about how much we cared for each other.

Now, we are together, and I wake up every day feeling grateful for having you in my life. I never knew that confessing my feelings to you would lead to such a beautiful and meaningful relationship.

Thank you for taking a chance on me, and for showing me that love is worth the risk.
