To Whom It May Concern

Every person at some point in his or her life has had a secret admirer or was the secret admirer, who stood back in the shadows leaving a letter or letters that came straight from one own heart. About 2 months ago, a friend of mine came over to my house and asked me to help him write a letter to a girl that he had feelings for, but here's the kicker we were friends with her. In some way, I felt like Steve Martin in the movie Roxanne, helping the guy get the girl. In some aspect, I put myself in his shoes and basically wrote what I would say if it were me and this is what I basically wrote for him.

~It's not often that a woman like you can make me absolutely speechless everytime I see you. My heart is heavy for the simple reason that you touched it and brought it to life beating harder and much more faster. You simply take my breath away and it's not because of your physical beauty but rather the beauty that you don't show that you have inside of you. For those unknown qualities that you may not see in yourself can be seen in my eyes, which puts a smile on my face. There are times where I just wanted to walk up to you and tell you how feel but I felt it wasn't the right time.

For the light in your eyes shine brightly whenever I look at you and wonder if they will ever burn and shine brightly for me? If you, at some point, ever to look into my eyes, you will see all the feelings and emotions that I carry for you without even saying a single word. What I feel for you can't be expressed in mere words and if given the chance I hope to prove my worth to you. You have been a person that I consider a friend but right now, I am taking this leap of faith that I hopefully won't fall hard from. It's basically the risks one takes with one's own heart that makes great story book endings.

I am considered a gambler of sorts but I'm not gambling with money. You see I'm gambling with something that means more than any amount of money placed in front of me and that is my own heart. It is my heart that I am metaphorically placing on the table and win or lose I not only took a chance, but I have risked everything to tell you how I feel. For I have already shown my hand to you and all there is for me to do is wait to see on how you will respond. In the back of my mind I know you may not feel the same way I do and that is understandable, but at least you know how I feel and I have meant every word that I said to you in this letter.

I may or may not be the guy that you want in the end but what matters to me is you being happy. I have always been up front with you in every aspect except when it comes to you. I'm a guy that is truthful and honest when it come to the heart and have come to a crossroad in my life where I stood in front of two paths. I chose the path that leads to you and not the path that leads away from you. In the end, I don't regret what I said to you because they come from deep within my heart and soul.~ When I gave him the letter he put it in an envelope and simply wrote these 5 words on it: To Whom It May Concern.
