So you're name is Alex, such a sweet name. Alex you walked in with your drumsticks in hand and a glowing smile. Did you know how beautiful your smile is? I sighed in love, and you sat across me in the dining hall.

You told me you like music to help you with your anxiety. I told you I liked music because I wrote my feelings away.

You said it was a nice way to do it. I blushed so hard but I just said I do that every time I get a compliment. You didn't laugh like other people used to. You smiled.

It's the smile that has made my heart beat so fast, even faster than any other guy I had a crush on. But here's the thing. I have to control my smiles, I don't know if you like boys.

Love,

Brandon
