Calls her beautiful, but she cannot hear.

I'm only being cute here. I don't really mean it. I just wanted to make you smile.

I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.

The girl that introduced The Smiths' song 'Asleep' to me was an important musical influence that I met in college. From there it's been an ongoing journey of different bands at different times, introducing bands and songs to me.

It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.

I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have.

Some kids look at me strange in the hallways because I don't decorate my locker.
