letter: I dont know if you will read this, after all I didn't exactly sign it. I am not the most outgoing and outspoken person. However I am finally sitting down to write this letter because I have noticed lately how dejected you look when we sit in class especially when the topic of love and hunter’s jubilee comes up. It’s a look I know well, like you don’t believe you are worth any one loving. I don’t know how you came to have this look, It seemed like you are very close with your family in those few moments when you interact with them outside the class room door. Maybe it’s just you never found that special person to spend your life with yet and you’ve started to give up hope. Maybe its another reason that is more private to you. I don't really dare to presume too much.
Still it weighed on me, and I wanted to write that you are wrong. You are a very special person, and quite lovable. You have such wonderful things to bring to those you let close. Just from sharing classes I know you have a wicked sense of humor, you never fail to bring a smile to me. You also have a kind heart as well. I’ll never forget when I was struggling with an assignment and while the rest of our group made fun of me for not understanding or got agitated with me, you were patient and helped me finally understand. I don’t mean to seem sappy but seeing you often brightens my day. It makes me work towards being a better person in maybe one day I can give you back some of what you have given me.
I never really planned to make my feelings known. I was just happy having them and being able to be in the same school as you. I don’t expect you to read this and return my feelings but I did want you to know of them. To know not to give up on love because everyone has some one out there that’s made for them, who loves them for being them. I hope when you get this letter I have managed to return the favor and bring a smile to you.
Everytime I see you, my heart begins to flutter In a frantic dance of crystalline butterflies. Reality seems to bend around you, my Love, and I find myself drawn to the way You walk, talk, and most importantly, the way you smile. So won't you please make me the happiest and be mine?
A new experience, something I hope you'd like to try, too. Never have I ever felt this way about anyone before. Do you feel the same, I wonder?
Vain, perhaps, to think that I am anywhere near your league, Even though our favorite holiday is the same. Is that enough? Rare to feel a feeling such as this, and yet still I fear, One letter will not be enough to convey my thoughts. Now that I've put it all on paper and sent it to you, Are we friends? Or is there something else there?

My Dearest Lilitu:
I Have Longed To Be In Your Embrace I've loved you since you passed me at-- Gentle moonlight upon your face shining more brightly now that I'm at your place
Standing outside, watching you breathless in wonder I'm Pining to be in there too.
Lilitu, I've loved you from the moment I saw you. Loved the way you go for walks at night when almost everyone is asleep, love the way you do your make-up so gently and softly. I haven't had the courage to approach for your weeks now. But I've almost approached you so many times. Every time it just wasn't right. Either you were having friends over or you were just leaving or I'd just miss my chance.
That's why i wrote this letter! I wanted something to give you, even if my poem isn't the best--I-I made you a mixtape!
I'm sure you've caught glimpses of me every now and again. I couldn't help but duck out of sight whenever I thought you saw me. I just think you're so sweet and I'd love to be your sweet. I hope you don't think this is too forward of me. If you wouldn't mind going on a date with someone like me, I'll be waiting for you at the Cafe a Amore a couple blocks down the road from your house.
Forever Hopeful! A secret admirer
P.S. Here's the mixtape, I hope you like the songs I picked out for us!

I often think of you though there is hardly a time when you are not on my mind. The way you move is mesmerizing. The way you laugh is like music to my ears. The way you play with your hair when you think no one is watching is sweet and captivating.
Your eyes shimmer like the sun reflecting off a recent snow all bright and aglow. Your lips remind me of cranberries they are so red and inviting.
The way you play your little drum, the rhythm makes me want to dance for you. The gorgeous flowers on your branches remind me of the flowers of the Winter season, the color so light and perfect.
For you to sit there day after day without realizing how beautiful you truly are is something I can no longer keep to myself. I would love to give you the gift of seeing yourself through my eyes, everything I see and how to me you are beyond perfection. Every little thing you do, every little movement captivates me. You my dear have stolen my heart and I want nothing more than to have yours in return. I sit and watch you day in and day out, your the reason I attend classes if you really wish to be honest. To go a day without seeing your beautiful face would be a day without air to breathe, the rays of the sun to give light, the flowers to bloom and gift us with their fragarance and would turn my day into dark, gloomy and overall a horrid day.
All that I ask is you know that you are loved for just being you, never change to conform to someone else's expectations. You do not need to do so, perfection does indeed exist your living proof.

Happy Hunter’s Jubilee! I like your plushie, they are cute, and you are too. It made me smile when you gave me one of your cookies, it tasted better because you gave it to me. One time when I saw you on the playground, you fell down. I got sad because the teacher came over and kissed your boo-boo- I wish it could be me helping make your boo-boo’s feel better. I like that you’re not like the others who tease me. I think you are sweet because you are always remembering your please and thank you’s. I hope you don’t mind that the teacher helped me write this, it is a lot of letters and I kept getting frustrated and I didn’t want to cry on the paper and make it all spotty, and she offered to help. So I get to talk, and she writes down what I say. She told me its called “dictation” and it is a thing that important people will do to save them time. But I told her it is you who is important to me, and she made sure to pinky promise to help you read it if you want, because I don’t want you to feel sadded. And I like you and want to play on the swings with you, because I like the way the wind feels in my wings and my fur. I think you are super pretty, I like your eyes and the way the sun makes your hair look so shiny. But most important is that I want you to know you are special, and that I will always remind you of that because its super important to have friends that remind you that you are amazing!

Love Letter
Natsumi sat down at her desk in her dorm room to write a love letter, she had been rather shy about pursuing love for a long time and she really wanted to be with her crush if they felt the same way.
"I've watched you dance for a long time now in class you are so graceful, I couldn't help but admire how beautiful you are. I was hoping you would like to go on a date with me. That day in class that with were paired up I was so nervous and you were so nice it was an amazing time and I hope we can dance together a lot more. You are really amazing at leading and your choreography is really well done. I hope I can learn to dance as well as you do. I like you very much and I hope you feel the same way. I'm not the best at expressing things on paper so I hope you understand that and can accept how I feel, even if I'm messing it up babbling. If you don't feel the same way that is alright and I hope we can still be friends and dance partners. I understand if you can't if I made things weird and if that is the case I am very sorry." Natsumi felt like she was bumbling with her words as she wrote and then she stopped trying to think about how she could express herself better. "My family is very important to me, I would love to hear about your family since we haven't had a chance to talk about things like that. Well, I hope to hear from you soon. It would mean the world to me if you gave me a chance to get to know you and for you to get to know me. Umm but I understand if that isn't what you want." Natsumi had always been the self-sacrificing type. Putting what she wanted on hold for her family, or letting others cut in line it was just who she was.

Hey Dude,
We've known each other for awhile now, you, me, the guys. Hanging out with my friends is always the best part of my day. But you know what my favorite part is? My favorite part is when its just you, me, and a gaming console. I'm not just saying that because I always beat you at smash either. You never treat me like I'm just "one of the guys" and that means a lot. None of them ever wanted to hang out without the whole group and yet you did.. and still do. You were one of the few people who wasn't afraid to meet Bark. I understand bunyips can be scary and you walked right up to embrace him and you even helped me get Neo. I will admit the backyard has reached max capacity at two.
Now I'm sure you wondering why I wrote you all this instead of texting or just talking in person. I've wanted to tell you how I felt for awhile now, ever since I saw you looking at me differently..like I was important to you. I know I'm not one of the pretty girls and bunyips will fly before you catch me in a dress...but you get me and I get you. I guess what I'm trying to say with all this is that I like you, a lot. I really hope you like me back... otherwise I might never be able to show my face at practice again. Anyways I made you a playlist ..which I'm sure you figured out because this note was taped to it. Thats it really...I don't really know what else to write. Um..yeah.
Reece.

A Love Letter: It was your eyes that did it. The first time I saw them, they were angry, defiant, spitting fire at me through beautiful, glittering gems. I couldn't get enough of the brilliance strong emotions brought to those sparkling orbs. I teased, tortured, and tormented and you met my pranks with anger, indignation, your eyes shooting sparks at me when I went too far.
And then…then it changed. I honestly don’t know what came over me, or why I did it. I just saw it and thought you’d like it. You did, and what your eyes showed then…I couldn’t believe it. There was camaraderie, a fondness swimming among the joy the simple action produced. I wanted more of that look, needed more of that look. The more I did, the deeper the look got. It took me a while to realize you were looking at me with love. And as I strove to make you look at me that way, I soon found myself trapped by those expressive, cursed eyes.
I didn't know how to react. I didn't know how to feel. The feel of those eyes pulling me down like a whirlpool caused me to lash out, to try and protect myself. My feelings. My heart. But that's not how this works, is it. I had to let go, let myself be caged by those eyes of yours. It was the only way I could be free. Free of the torment of those remembered jewels. I had to accept the truth, scary as it might be. I love you.

Talia smoothed the clean sheet paper out across her desk. Attempt number five. Why was this so hard?! Of course, she could also be nervously nitpicking.
'Hey. I truly hope this doesn't seem to be coming out of the blue for, but I feel like it's about time to be open with what I'm feeling before I overthink things. I know we haven't know each other for that long, but recently the time we've been spending together has made me realize something. I wasn't expecting this, but your smile, your laugh, your adventurous appetite, your wit, the way you carry yourself...My heart races, my breath catches in my throat when our eyes meet. (I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard me.) You make me smile. Simple as that.
If you're open to the possibility of us, I'd love to go on a date with you. If you're of two minds or just not interested, I understand and will accept this if you tell me so. I'm a big gal, I can handle it. I also totally understand if we need to take things slow, to sort of feel things out a bit. I'm a cache baby. I don't need to court as my people can tend to. I don't mind trying things a different way. I can read clues and take hints. I'm a quick study, or can be, if you'll let me. Sorry if I sound like I'm gushing. I'm not thinking so much as I write. It's exciting just penning these words and wondering what you'll think when you read them. I've included a mix tape for you. Just some songs that I've been thinking of, brought on around you. I hope I haven't scared you off or put our friendship at risk. That truly isn't my intention. You have my number to text or call with what you think or if you just want to discuss things. I'd be happy just to clear the air.
Sincerely yours, Talia'
By the nine, she hoped that didn't sound too pushy or needy. No! She couldn't overthink it. She sealed the envelope with mix tape attached and sent it off. There. She did it. Now, all the had to do was wait. Maybe die a little in anticipation. Nope, no overthinking.
