I love the time we have together every Wednesday.
The break from the office, the drive to Citadel Hill to look out over the ocean and talk about cruise ships and the new construction in the city. Then off to the waterfront to walk along to Bishop's Cellar to pick up our Wine Wednesday deals. Then, reluctantly, I drive us back to the office and we awkwardly sit in the truck in the company parking lot, making small talk, or watching people come and go, when one of us finally says, "Well, we''d better get back in there."

I don't know if you know that I would love to get drunk with you, and laugh, and flirt, and kiss, and end up in bed together.

Those moments have made me realize that I am really attracted to you. I want to put my hand on your leg while we are driving, just stare into your eyes while we are parked on The Hill, or hold your hand as we walk along the waterfront. I want to hold you and feel you against me. I would love to find out what kind of kisser you are.

But I don't know if you know this. I've dropped so many hints, and even suggestions that we skip work one day and get drunk together on our Wine Wednesday deals, which you said you thought was a great idea.

But I don't know if you know. I don't know if you know that I would love to get drunk with you, and laugh, and flirt, and kiss, and end up in bed together. Do you just see me as a work friend that sits across the hall from you? Or do you feel the same and we are both too shy to do anything about it?

I'm reluctant to make a move for fear of ruining everything and making our work situation uncomfortable for both of us.

I hope you see this post and let me know.

I like you so much. But I'm so incredibly scared to tell you because I don't think you feel the same. Instead, I'll keep low-key flirting with you, tell myself I don't like you that much, suppress all these feelings and probably die alone—while still laughing at your jokes.

Nobody else will love me. Nobody will understand that underneath this coarse, awful façade there is a person that means well. Many quickly see a cynic, and tend to discard the chuckles, the smiles breaking through like a ray through tumultuous cloud. Though I yearn to feel warmth from others, only I know myself.

I felt the same way: That I knew you in a past life—if you are who I think you are. Let's be honest, you never did let me in. You did every little maneuver to keep me at arm's length even though I let you in. You would make a fuss whenever I tried to plan something in advance and acted like me using a day planner was akin to torture by the Gestapo. You decided to be Josephine Cool and ghost me. I am happy that we didn't work out because it forced me to face a shit ton of ugly truths about what I want in life and who I need and want in it. Sadly, you're not one of them—especially after you blamed me for your depression and not eating and sleeping, even though I offered to pay for a counsellor. I just hope you are treating your current boyfriend better than you did me.

Now that we have more than a vague notion of each other, I get the feeling that wherever this goes is going to be good.

Until now, I thought it was reserved for childhood sweethearts about to say a 70-year goodbye. I thought it took that long to accumulate this emotion—but I'm happily wrong. Nothing more or less matters because I just need her. It's plain and perfect.

Everyone at work thinks that I like you. They're not wrong. You're an intelligent, kind, giving, funny and cold-hearted turdburger.
