Dear Asher:
I’m not going to apologize for telling you I love you, but maybe I’ll apologize if it scared you. I didn’t mean I wanted you to drop your whole life and move here. I didn’t say it expecting something back, and after reading what you said about your parents, I fear that’s how you took it.
I will apologize if it made you feel like that. It wasn’t my intention. I just wanted you to know you are a very lovable person. I should have just waited, but my heart was in shambles after reading that, and I just needed to make you feel better.
That’s all I do lately too—make sure everyone feels better. So if I made you feel bad, that’s not what I wanted.
Would you write me back so I can stop spiraling and overthinking?
That would be great.
Thanks.
Xo,
Hales
