I am a coward for not telling you this in person, and I'm sure many of you who will read this will deserve to have this said to them too. Many of you deserve to get spoilt on Valentine's Day for all that you do and for how amazing you are, but sadly people never appreciate what they have right in front of them.

I know you are ridiculously self conscious and always feel like shit. I wish I could tell you how beautiful you are. I wish I could tell you that your weight really doesn't matter. I wish you knew how I avoid looking you in the face because your eyes absolutely kill me. I wish you knew how your sense of humour is just perfect. I wish I could tell you that hearing your voice makes my stomach flip. I wish I could tell you that you look ridiculously hot in that black dress even though you do walk like Captain Birdseye a bit in it. I wish I could tell you that I just stare at your hands because I know I'll never get to hold them. I wish you knew how gorgeous you are when you giggle like an idiot. I wish I could tell you how I know how much emotional pain you're in and how I want to just hold you. I wish you knew how long I've wanted to just lean over and kiss you. I wish you knew that even though you hate your job, you're very good at it. I wish you knew how appreciated and respected you are by many different people. I wish you knew how often I have to stop myself putting my hand on your thigh when you're driving. I wish I could give you everything you want but the reality is that I can't and you probably wouldn't want me to anyway. I wish you knew that I have wanted you since the very strange moment I first saw you. But most of all I wish you knew that you are worth much more than you think, and much more than how you're treated.

It's a shame MN doesn't have a 'like' button. That would say it all.

This is a bit odd, but to be fair I do wish a little bit that it was aimed at me!

Odd, but I hope the person this is meant for reads it and realises it's for them. Or that the poster gets up the courage to say this to the person it is meant for. FWIW, I would leave out the captain birdseye bit!

Perhaps it is meant for you, that's why it's posted here (I do not know her username)

And she will like the Captain Birdseye bit Wink

That's given me a hankering for a battered fish finger. Do they still do those?

And why do you doubt it?

Not Keith Wood (nowhere near as bald!) but I do like a good Lions tour.

Well you're nigh on near perfect what with liking rugby and all the gooey stuff. Why can't you tell her though ?

JoyceDivision I used to have a proper thing for Keith Wood back in the late 1990s Blush...have never found anyone else (other than rugby blokes) that knows who he is!

How does Captain Bird'seye walk? I can only picture him sitting at a fishfinger-laden table.

OP, I hope he or she picks up the clues and responds.
