Hehe, so I guess I was the mastermind behind my own promotion then. Everything worked out nicely! ;)
Yay!! It means so much to hear that from you! :D

*nestles into your embrace* <3 I know exactly how you felt, Revise. Everything you said just now, word for word! I think the biggest thing holding me back was the fear of losing the bond we share. The weight of that risk was crushing. As time went on, I somehow ended up resigning myself to the thought that we'd never be more than friends; I had grown accustomed to my lovesickness anyway, so it was easier to bear than compromising our relationship. Still, no matter how hard my mind tried to convince me to let go, my heart was adamant in its hope. It kept me strong. It carried the burden of my secret when the rest of me had given in.
I just... I wanted what was best for you. There were moments when I saw a shooting star, or blew on a dandelion, and yearned to wish for us to be together... but it felt... selfish. Instead, I'd pause, then wish for you to be happy. Even if it meant... without me. It seems those wishes were meant for us after all. :)
I thought, maybe these feelings will subside and the ache will go away... but they didn't. They kept getting stronger, so strong it was hard just being near you; you seemed within such easy reach. I found myself thinking about you before I even knew it, and it made my heart flutter and glow and burn with a nameless desire. Not long afterwards, it was something Sam said that made me realise the depths of my feelings... (I never directly told her about you, she guessed!) She said, "I stand corrected. You are in love, not just a crush. I'm thrilled for you. Love can cast you up and be exhilarating. I think you two are perfect for each other, complement each other perfectly so I really hope that some day your dream comes true."
I realised that what I had been searching for all along was the confirmation that these feelings of mine... feelings I've never truly known before... were, in fact... love. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes just to know how sincere I am when I say...
I love you, Revise.
With that, a chapter of my life is complete. I couldn't be happier knowing we'll begin the next one together! <33333

Aww, it's not ridiculous—I was actually waiting to hear about the inspiration for your arrangement. ^__^ It's all falling into place. I recognised the beginning instantly of course. :) I've learnt the melody! And those two other songs, Smiles and Tears and Because I Love You, are both so sad and sweet... I think I've heard them before. From Smash Bros., perhaps? As I listen I can picture your lyrics. <3 And also, now that you've shown me the closing line, I'm reminded of the end where... w-well, you know what I mean! My poor heart still hasn't recovered!
Honestly though, EarthBound sounds like a beautiful game. Had things gone differently, I would be just like Paula... I was in her shoes only days ago! You must not have known this if you were unaware of my feelings, but there were many similar moments between us when I wanted to tell you. I wish I had something as special as your letter to give you that night. I'm glad you liked mine anyway, even if I was in a hurry, hehe. x3
Hahahah, are you kidding? I've never seen anything have "Revise" written all over it as much as your video for as long as I've known you! xP

I have to admit, I'm tempted to jump straight into SUMO just for Rowlet!
Awwwww *melts* Hehe. <3 My internet slowed down so no GIFS, but I do have this... it's not perfect, but, well... it sort of just happened! *blush!*
