I stumble and don't always say the right things, but I've fallen head over heels for you, Marinette.

I wonder if you'll see just how in love with you, I am.

I just wish that I could pull you close and kiss your lips so softly, sweetly.

I want to hold you close and let our hearts beat in tandem, let our minds wander so happily together.

I know that may be one day you'll look at me with sparkles in your eyes and that you'll find in me something that shows how perfect we can be.

I hope that you'll let me in the way that I wish to be.

I'd even let you be my hero if you so choose; I know that I already goofed up bad enough to get Akumatized anyway, and that from what everyone says that you were a true hero that day, a true heroine, and I just hope that you'd let me in, brokenness and all.

I love you, Marinette, and I only hope that one day the words will just leave my lips in a perfectly unperfect way and that you'll feel the same sweet emotion for me too.

I don't think that I'll ever give up hope, Marinette.
