When: Summer break after season two

The way your eyes always seem to sparkle, the way you always have a smile on your lips, the way you touch my shoulder before you leave, the way you say my name, the way you look when you perform, the way you're always there when I need you, the way you give me courage and hope, the way you look at me when I try to pay for our coffee, the way you're not afraid to be too close, the way you laugh, the way you close your eyes before you say something important. The way you can look me straight in the eyes and without expecting something in return or thinking about it twice say you love me.

I love you too, with all my heart. And I know people don't think that mean much when you're a seventeen year old boy, but I know it does. This is not a teenage crush, it's more. You are my best friend, the one who's always there when everything else is a mess, and you're always going to be. Because what we have is something rare, something special.

I want to thank you. Thank you for appearing out of nowhere when I called for help, for standing by my side and not letting go of my hand through everything that tried to pull me down. For helping me, supporting me, loving me. I wish I could give you the world, the moon and the stars, but they're not mine to give. So I give you my heart.

I don't think I'll ever send you this letter. I have, in one way or another, already told you everything it contains. I try to remind you of it as often as I can. But maybe one day, when we've grown old together, I will find this in a forgotten drawer and I'll let you read it. Because I'll never let you forget how much you've meant to me, how much you mean to me and how much you're still going to mean to me when that day comes. You saved me.

Yours always,

Kurt
