To Katie,

______________________________________________________________________

For once in my life, I know what I want for certain. And that is you. You are gorgeous and I would love to get to know you better. I can't express how much you mean to me. I know you’re depressed and dealing with a lot. But you’re still an amazing person. I want to know you. All of you. What makes you tick, smile, laugh. I want you more than ever. You will probably never see this but I needed to write out my feelings. I want to love you. I don’t care if it’s against policy. I need to see you, but it’s hard when I’m your manager. You are my star-crossed lover. I want to love you but I can’t put a fire on your record and I don’t have a valid reason. I can’t just fire you over nothing, we could keep us a secret. We could try in the dark. No one will know that I am in love with you.  I need you to know this as I feel like I made you believe that I hate you. But I could never hate you as you are probably the most amazing person I have ever met.I hope I get the courage to tell you one day.

Killian
