The protagonist's mother always told her to be careful about who she loves, and her father told her to make sure he's the right person. There is a particular guy that she has her eye on, but she's too shy to approach him directly. Instead, she decides to write him a letter expressing her feelings. People around her say that she's foolish for liking him because he doesn't even notice her. However, if she musters up the courage to talk to him, she hopes that he won't reject her. She writes a love letter to him and includes a kiss, and she hopes that he receives it on time. The protagonist emphasizes her anticipation as she mentions that the mailman will be coming soon to deliver her letter. She reiterates that she wants her letter to reach him and for him to get it on time.
