Love Letter to No One. (NOT a fic!)

a1y_puffSo, a week ago, my (real) dad called me. His stepdaughter is going to high school this year, and was on a sort of Orientation Period (it's held on the first three days of school for freshmen, supervised by their seniors, usually ones in the Student Council). The seniors usually give various unique and/or plain weird assignments for the freshmen to do.) In my stepsister's school, she was asked to write a love letter in English. And my Dad said since her English isn't really good, he asked me to write the letter for her. And so I did XD;
At first, since I was too lazy, I asked my dad to tell my stepsis to write herself in Indonesian, then I'd translate it to English. But since she was too busy with her other assignments, my dad ended up writing the love letter, in Indonesian.
When I read what my dad had written, though, I thought it sounded more like a complaint letter from a jealous wife XD;
I asked if I could 'modified' it so it'd be more love letter-like, and he said 'sure'.
So I kind of rewrote it and took a few points my Dad mentioned, and I think it turned rather sappy XD;
Dear (insert name here),
I finally decided to write this letter coz I think you need to know how I feel. We've been friends for so long, and I don't know since when, but my eyes would automatically search for your figure in the cafeteria crowds, and my heart would flutter from the mere sight of your smile. Something burns within me every time I see you just a tiny bit too close with other girls, but I try not to think too much about it.
Because it is me, whom you always pick up to go to school together. It is me, whom you always run to whenever you need help with your homework. It is me, whom you let to wipe the sweat from your forehead after P.E. class.
And it is also me, whose birthday you never failed to remember.
There are lots of things happening in my chest, lots of different emotions I feel about you, but then I realized that all these feelings could be summed up in three words. Three little, cliché words.
I love you.
Yours Truly.
So, how was it? Too sappy? Hehe... feel free to let me know what you think, ne? :D

Date: 2009-07-24 04:21 pm (UTC)I vaguely remember having to write a love letter to a senior when I entered middle school, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I wrote XD;
And thanks for the suggestion! I didn't really re-check it after writing and just immediately texted it back to my Dad; I'm not even sure if it's grammatically corect XD;
But yea, 'allow' does sound better :D

I never write one, but several weeks ago, in the physiological test*yes it was*, they asked the attendants to write love letter in 10 minutes. And i was shame for the result because it was more like an CV rather than love letter. LOL
Fortunately, they don't really care with the essence, but more into my writing style.
Oh, and miss you, girl>,

The things about homework, sweat-wiping and birthday are from my dad, I just modified the wordings so it'd sound more like a girl in love instead of a jealous housewife XD;
Now I'm curious about your love letter! Would you share? Hehe...
Miss you too~! *glomps*

Date: 2009-07-25 09:09 am (UTC)Ehm, i barely remember the one i wrote. But i think something from these lines:
"We know each other vaguely, but i know you're a good and warmth person shrouded by stoic look. So i brace myself and write this letter to know you better.
As myself, i'm neither a talkative nor attractive person. But i'm a good listener. You can come to me whenever you need someone to talk to. And i'm more than willing to help you when you need helping hand."
Some kind like that, the psychiatrist asked us to write a love letter with reason WHY the one have to choose ourselves.
It's more like selling ourselves rather than expressing feeling. haha, it's sounds more pathetic in indonesianTT.TT

Date: 2009-07-24 12:30 am (UTC)when I was a freshman I was told to make one too...so here goes my love letter (no prob w/ me sharing it right?):
Dear senpai...
Sigh...I don't know why I wrote this...but since Senpai-tachi told me to write this and since I'm a good Kouhai, I'll do it. So basically I have to write a letter saying I love you right.
I love you.
There. Satisy, senpai?
From, your Kouhai.
After that, in the third days...they were opening those love letters behind me(it was dark and there's firebon), I was snickering when a senpai was groaning "Who was "Caroline"?" lolz, they searched for me...
Then again...silly them for told me to write one...
And then 2 years later (which is this year), my bro and cousin were asked to write one too...
So We (me and my big sis) searched through ZukaFuji Fanfic and doujin for my cousin...And use Sanada's FuuRinKanZan for my brother....
I was lolz...
