It seems the time has come to tell you
To fill you in
To let you know
My little secret.

I've been keeping something from you
That perhaps you already know.
But now that you're leaving
And my heart is crumbling
I want to share my all with you.

I love you,
My dear.
But not only in the way
That you've learned
To love me back.

It's more than that.

I fell in love with you,
Like in the story books.
With the fluttering in my belly
And the inability to form
Logical, clever, conversation.

You thought it was cute
Said it was endearing
You gave me a kiss
And you set my heart reeling.

You changed my life my dear.
I've told you so before.
You opened my eyes to who I am
And despite my desperate trying,
I fell in love with you.

So I apologize for all of the kisses I stole
And for all of the playful looks you gave
That I didn't deserve.
I'm sorry I lead myself on.
And that I broke my own heart.
And I'm sorry that a part of me
Blames you for that.

I wish I could go back
And stop this before it happened,
But it was inevitable.
If it wasn't one thing,
It would have been another.

So I'm sorry.
That I fell in love
With more than just our friendship.
And I'm sorry, that I have to see you go.

But I wish you all the best in your
Endeavors.
And I pray that you forgive me
For all of this.

Goodbye.
