Dear Amy Rose,

Stupid, stupid, stupid...I can't believe I can't even give you a flower without chickening out. It really is quite embarrassing. I could probably give everyone in the world a flower of some sort, no problem (old Eggy would get one with a ton of thorns though). Yet I can't give you a simple rose.

I went to give you your keys yesterday and I was about to get the rose out but you opened the door and I just lost my nerve. I tried lots of times afterwards too, like when you went to the kitchen to get me a drink, or when you went to check on the muffins you were making... I had at least seven chances to give it to you, and I blew all of them.

The same scenarios kept playing over and over in my head later in the day. The only difference was that they were what I think would have happened if I gave you the rose. I couldn't even sleep in the evening, I tried lots of different places, branches, and logs...I even went to my bed. No luck.

So I did what I normally do when I can't sleep...visit you. I'm lucky that you always leave your bedroom window open a crack, no matter what the weather is outside. I climbed the tree next to your house and managed to sneak in through your window, you were completely oblivious to the whole feat.

Somehow your calm breaths soothed into a peaceful sleep. Out of all the places I've fallen asleep; I've never fallen asleep on a chair... I didn't realise that I would come very close to being busted.

Thankfully I woke up at the first crack of dawn, mentally kicking myself for letting myself fall asleep in the first place. You looked so adorable right then, if you knew that I was with you, you'd probably be over the moon. Your hair looked so silky...I couldn't help but run my fingers through it. It felt really nice.

I decided to leave the rose next to you on your pillow. That way it'll be the first thing you'll see when you wake up. I didn't leave a note or anything though; That would just give everything away. I'll let you figure out who gave it you.

Luckily I left at exactly the right time. The second I was about to jump out the window, I saw you stirring from the corner of my eye. Part of me wanted to stay a little longer so that you'd at least catch a glimpse of me and know that it was me who gave the rose to you.

But another part of me wanted to get out of there quicker. That was the instinct that I decided to follow, I guess I'm just not completely ready to tell you yet.

I don't want to keep these letters on my desk anymore; they are becoming really obvious just sat on my desk. So I'm going to put all of them in the box Knuckles gave me for my birthday last year. The brown one with the chaos emerald design on it, I think it's under my bed at the minute.

It has a lock on it, so no one else can get in. And I keep the key to it in my glove, so there's no way anyone can get their hands on it. I wouldn't want anyone else to read them...well I do want you to read them someday.

Tails is calling me down for breakfast, so I'm gonna go. I love you Ames...

Yours now and forever,

Sonic the Hedgehog x

P.S.

I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand, but the water washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.
