My first writing assignment, on infatuation:

Your voice is your most distinctive feature, radiating the warmth of a gentle sun, resembling the intriguing texture of sandpaper, ever so trustworthy. Another defining feature would be your well-honed mind. Your intellect crippled you then as a child terrified of death, but empowers you now as a young man by providing you a direction in life. Circumstances brought us together that fateful night, the extrovert with substance enlightens the introvert hungry for meaning. The way you carry yourself touches me so I harbour a part of you, unbeknownst to you, in me. I keep reaching out for this idealised version of you, pieced together with whatever I can remember from our only conversation that night, and wishing we could chat every night, without inhibitions, under the cover of darkness. In real life I try hard not to throw furtive glances your way, not to read too much meaning into your behaviour, not to think of us as conspiratorially sharing an intimate bond unbeknownst to everybody. Your tip to trust instinctively in the transition from friends to lovers now hangs like a pall over me. Maybe you have long turned the page on what was no more than a scribble in your book of life, but because of you I am at a major chapter of my life.

Got a B+ (the greedy part of me thinks I deserve better for digging my heart out, but I guess my tutor's comment about me crossing the 'thin line between drama and melodrama' makes sense.)
My assignment partner comments on the phrase 'major chapter of my life': "hey, its just an infatuation, one should not be head over heels over, besides you havent known him for a long time either." Counseling thrown into the mix :)
You could comment if any thought comes across your mind.
