    I just thought I would post some of my thoughts and feelings and ramblings about a girl I love.

    I started working in this store in October.

    There was a girl who worked in this store, and the moment I saw her, I fell in love with her.

    It was her smile -- she has the most beautiful smile in the entire world -- it will melt your heart.

    At first though, I was so shy around her (I couldn't even think of what to say when I got near her).

    At Christmas, though, I bought her a gift, and she gave me an even more wonderful smile than her usual smile and she blushed and her whole face turned red. She looked so cute.

    However, I still didn't tell her how I truly felt about her.

    Why? Why are we sometimes so afraid of just speaking the truth and telling someone how much we really like them?

    Months passed by, I found out she had already had boyfriend.

    That didn't stop me from liking her at all.

    Eventually, she came and told me that she no longer had a boyfriend.

    I have always been really, really nice to her, and helped her out in the store whenever I possibly could.

    Finally, in April, I started having a much better, friendlier, relationship with her, we always joked around and had a lot of fun, and she told me that I was her friend.

    I started buying her little gifts all the time, just to show her that I care about her (I bought her her favorite drink about everyday).

    Each time I give her a gift, she gives me that extra wonderful smile that she gave me at Christmas -- the smile that says "I love you" without even having to have words spoken.

    Her birthday came just recently, and I picked out a very nice card for her, and I finally, FINALLY wrote on the card how I truly feel about her.

    It made her so, so happy to see that card.

    Why can't we make people happy more often just by telling them how we truly feel about them?

    Why are we so afraid of letting our true feelings out?

    "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts fear outside: because fear involves punishment. He who fears has not been made perfect in love." (John, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, circa 90 AD)

    I enjoyed reading about your friend.

    You must be a "hopeless romantic" ( I am too, that's why I loved your story)..........and a very good friend that really shows you care about someone. Keep up the good work. Smiles are "priceless"...

    I'm a cynic but enjoyed your sweet story anyway.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Awwwwww.

    You know, it might be a good thing not to have spilled your guts by words immediately; you spilled your guts to her by your actions, and finally came time for words.

    BTW, my husband has an absolute killer smile, which completely melted me the first time I met him... 18 years ago. So you might be on the right track.

    Ahhh, l'amore...

    Awww - that's so romantic. I think it's fear of rejection which is the biggest killer to forming relationships.

    I 'admired someone from afar' for a whole year without saying anything and when I finally was about to work up the courage to say something it was too late. If you're not fast, you're last - I guess it's all about developing a thick skin.
