wikiHow Letter Template to Tell Your Best Friend You Love Them [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP Code] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State ZIP Code] Dear [Recipient's Name], I don't really know how to start this letter, so I'll just say it: I'm in love with you. I've been struggling with these feelings for a long time, and I couldn't keep them hidden anymore. I know that we've been best friends for years, and I don't want to ruin that. But I also can't deny how I feel. You mean everything to me, and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I want to be clear that I value our friendship more than anything, and I don't want to lose that. But I also can't help feeling the way I do. I've tried to push these feelings aside, but they only seem to grow stronger. I understand that this may come as a shock, and I don't expect you to feel the same way. But I had to be honest with you and tell you how I feel. If you don't feel the same way, I hope we can continue to be friends and that this doesn't change anything between us. If you do feel the same way, I would be overjoyed. But I also understand if you need time to process your own feelings and figure out what you want. I hope that this letter doesn't change our friendship and that we can continue to be there for each other no matter what. Thank you for being such an amazing friend to me, and for listening to me pour my heart out like this. Sincerely, [Your Name] Page
