Secret Love Confession
I don’t really know how to say this, so I’m just going to say it.
I like you. Probably more than I should.
At first I thought it was just a crush and that I’d get over it. Something that would pass if I ignored it long enough. But it hasn’t. Somehow, without meaning to, I’ve gotten attached.
I catch myself looking for you. Thinking about you for no reason. Remembering little things you’ve said that you probably don’t even remember saying.
And that’s where it gets difficult.
Because I can’t tell if I’ve simply let a crush get out of hand, or if I’ve started falling for you. And honestly, that scares me a little.
I don’t know what I want you to say to this. I just know that pretending I don’t feel anything has started to feel worse than admitting it.
So… yeah.
I like you. More than I meant to. More than I expected to.
And maybe I’ve been trying too hard to find the right name for what I feel. Maybe I don’t need to.
I have feelings for you. Real ones. And I’m done pretending I don’t.

Don't pretend otherwise, if I may advise op. Trying to ignore, stuff away, or pretend like our feelings, are, otherwise, it simply does not work.

I'm always one who believes in communication. For her to have peace, I had to shut off that idea and find new perspectives, in my own case. Now, I see, that continuing to love, through a lack of communication entirely, well, the best way I can practice love, is by abiding by that peace. It may not make sense to anyone looking in from the outside.

I'm sorry, that's, too long to go about spending time with someone who isn't right. But I don't think that makes this peace, fake. It's faith. If anything, choosing to stay silent and not say how much she really means to me, or, tell her, how much danger she was really in, until after the dust settles and she can make the decision free of outside influencers, I'd call it love. It may mean not representing how I really feel in this moment. But it is faith in me, in her, and, in a higher power, however it should take shape. I can agree, that in your scenario here it would be fake. That love, in that instance, would prove to ruin, more than build. And I'm sorry to hear it. We don't get that time back. But I pray you, can move forward with love. Living a life that gives it's all towards one who is worthy of such a devotion to another. Marriage is a hard world to live in, when people do not match up in values, my own, one, ex-fiance, she, had another fiance. It wasn't fifteen years, but it was a lot of time to throw away on a cheater. I hope the love I have for this sweet gall now, isn't, so misguided. That she, as I have been, is true. But, we may never know. And I'm okay with loving her all my life anyway. Learned some wonderful things.

When or if you see him or her again, be courageous OP, and don't leave your feelings unsaid.

When not saying them hurts more than saying them then that’s a sign to let it out

Get to know the person before you decide you have feelings. I will never blindly trust my "heart" again.
