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
