Letter and Reply 01
Delivered at 2:23 pm, Monday, September 22nd.
Dear Billy,
I’m just someone who loves to see you. And this is the only way I know how to tell you. There are times when a person feels too strongly about something to come out and say it aloud to someone else. They’re afraid that maybe that someone else would be frightened away. But all they ever want is the best for that person. I wonder what you’ll think when you come to the end of this letter. You will be more than wary, I’m sure. I probably would be myself, if I couldn’t feel every intention coming from the other end of these words. And every intention is pure. I’m searching for answers to ease my mind. I want to know...could I come to know you this way? Will you come to know me? I wish I could discover all of it from a further nearness, but I don’t want to spoil it. I want you at least as close as this. I’ll wait for your decision, as long as it takes to be made. Please don’t think less of me. I’m just someone who loves to see you.

(p.s. – By chance, if you’d like to send me a letter as well, you can give it to the postman. He knows who I am).

Dear Secret Person,
I wish I had a name to put at the top of this letter to make it less ambiguous, but I suppose that's one of the cardinal rules of secret admirers, isn't it? This is new to me, so you'll have to explain the guidelines.
There are also about a million questions I'd like to ask you, but they're the type that won't be answered. Like, who are you? How do I know you? Do I know you? Why? However, these might as well be rhetorical in this instance.
I'm not wary. Surprised, flabbergasted, intrigued, curious, flattered, perplexed... whatever. But not wary. I've no reason to be at this moment. And I certainly don't think less of you. After all, how can you think less of someone you never thought of in the first place? But I'm thinking now.
Take care, Mystery Someone.
