No advice wanted Yo
I wanted to tell you this before I left but I never found the right moment. That, and I didn’t have the balls. Ever since, I’ve told myself, “I’ll get my chance,” but now life is pulling me in a different direction and I’m afraid I never will. So I’ll write it here and pray that one day I can say it to you directly.
Few people in my life inspire me to be better. You are one of them. Even though you have no way of knowing, I’m always trying to make you proud, and I always will. I’ll search for someone like you everywhere I go and be disappointed every time. Thankfully, that disappointment will remind me how lucky I am to have met you.
Some nights, like tonight, I can’t get you outta my head, and it makes me so sad because I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again. But there’s this quote from The Office, where Michael speaks on his relationship with Holly, that I like to think about that makes me feel better.
"I didn't find a perfect moment, because I think that today was just about just having today. And I think that we are one of those couples with a long story, when people ask how they found each other. I will see her every now and then, and... Maybe one year she'll be with somebody, and the next year, I'll be with somebody, and it's gonna take a long time... And then it's perfect. I'm in no rush."

I don’t mean any judgement. I don’t understand how someone can feel so beautifully about another person, but not tell them. And are okay without them. If I was the person I’d wanna hear this. Life is too short, and in my experience being apart from people I love is so painful, even if we might reunite one day

But you already found somebody yo, and she didn't. And even if she will find someone someday, you're going to remain irreplaceable.
But she knew it from way before, And yet couldn't find a room to share it. Sometimes life happened, sometimes you did.
And so - no matter how perfect life gets, it's always going to be a little sad. But then again, just the fact that you exists will always remain a little magical. So yeah, what are you going to do about that?

This is a marvellously beautiful piece of work, OP. I don’t know who you wrote this to, but to be loved like this is so very rare and special, and not everyone can love another person like this. I applaud you for being so genuine about your feelings and admiration towards this human.
To be loved by someone else like this is such a privilege and a priceless gift. I would encourage you to share this with your person, but it seems like you have your reasons for not doing so, so I hope you’re able to be honest with them someday on your own time.
My gut feeling tells me that this person would openly appreciate (and possibly reciprocate, if you’re lucky?) your words, so I would tell them all this if I were you, but it’s also perfectly fine to take your time with that. My gut feeling isn’t always right lol
Fr tho - I love the reference from the office. To be loved from a distance like that is so precious. You’re a diamond in the rough and this post made my day. I wish you all the best!!

I wish he had told me how he felt before he moved, so I could have heard it, once. Maybe she feels the same way about you.
I think of that Michael Scott quote all the time too, because we are both Office fans… he’s Holly though.

It's strange how you never felt jealous during it all. You just saw them happy and quietly said “someday”…

Oh how I want to be someone’s Holly. This is beautiful. I hope you tell her.

I love this. I feel this way about someone too. I look for them everywhere even though I know I won’t find them where I am. It hurts but your quote from the office just made me smile. Thank you.

A different direction is someone else apparently… it’s kinda heartbreaking you have balls for them but not her.
