My dear,

I don't quite know how to begin without my heart beating faster, but I feel it is time to write to you. The truth is simple: it is hard for me to look at you without smiling. There is something in you — in your gaze, in the way you laugh, in your calm — that makes me feel the world has stopped for a moment just to admire you.

You are beautiful, and not only on the surface. There is a beauty in you that shows in words, in gestures, in silences. You are the kind of person who makes everything around them more alive — and your presence, even for a few moments, has brightened days I never thought I could feel any other way.

Maybe you don't know it, but every time I see you, my thoughts search for words. They tangle me up, I get lost in them, but in a beautiful way. You make me want to be better, more sincere, more present.

I don't want to seem hasty, nor to scare you. I don't write these lines expecting anything in return. I write only because what I feel is too alive to stay silent. And if even one smile is born as you read these lines, then every word was worth it.
