“Thanks.”
And this is the start of a rollercoaster ride that might change my life.
Chapter Nineteen
Chloe
Chloe. Chloe. Chloe.
With eyes so beautiful they move me
Her smile so bright and infectious
A gift held so precious
Chloe, a queen so regal
She soars in the sky like an eagle
Chloe, I’ve said this more than once
How special you are, I sound like a dunce
But for you, I’ll do anything
Get down on my knees and grant you many things
Whatever your heart may desire
And elevate you higher and higher
Until you rule the world with your kindness and wisdom
And one day maybe have your own kingdom
But until then you have me, your secret admirer
A guy so smitten he wants to soar higher
With you by his side, dear Chloe
One day you will know me
For now I must bid you good day
And hope this letter touches you in every way
Sincerely,
Your Secret Admirer
Tears well up in my eyes. “This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever received in my life.”
My friends and their boyfriends pass the note around, their eyes devouring the poem. I try to battle the tears because it’s so embarrassing to cry in the middle of the school hallway, but I’m overwhelmed with emotion. I thought the other poem was sweet and came straight from his heart, but this one is on a whole new level. I need to…I want to…I just wish I could hug him.
“Oh, Chloe.” Lily gathers me in her arms. “He’s such a good guy. Iknowhe is. And when you guys finally meet face to face, your life will change forever.”
Liam rubs his forehead with a sigh. “I guess I can see the good in this one. Even if it’s also pretty bad.”
