"I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitiome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I just cant take this anymore. I cant stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I cant, I cant look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I cant talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I dont care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we cant hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldnt allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which, by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And you know, I'll accept that. But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. And I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that- and try to dwell in for just ten seconds.
Alyssa, there isnt another soul on this fucking planet who ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Becuase it is there between you and me. You cant deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me." Holden to Alyssa in 'Chasing Amy'
