The following is a very real letter that I sent to my best friend. We had been close, but platonic friends for sixteen years. That is not to say we had never "danced" near the line separating friendship and romance. Convention and obligations kept us in line, but one night brought me to the breaking point. This letter was written that night.
Note: In case you're curious, we are very different physically. He stands about 5'11", has a strong, broad chest, solid middle, thick arms and legs, and wavy auburn hair. I am just over 6'8", with a slim, runner's build, long legs, and light brown hair. We are both sensitive, but by no means effeminate.

"Dear Brad,
It is late Friday night, and you just dropped me off. Obviously, I am still wide awake. I just went to the bathroom and discovered that my dick was soft but thick, and that my shorts were damp in spots. Of course, this is all due to the last few hours spent talking, and driving, with you. For the past hour I struggled to hide my hard on, as well as my escalating arousal. In the immediacy of these reflections, I find myself returned to that same state.
All of this is directly related to the intimacy of our evening. It's not just the veiled homoerotic imagery I kept slipping into our semi-normal conversation, but the emotional intimacy fostered by the substance of our talks. This has brought me to the miserable, but beautiful state I currently find myself in.
You are my best friend. You are my brother, and my closest confidante. Sometimes, though, in spite of or because of all this, I ache for you to be my lover. Tonight this ache has all but consumed me. I harbor no shame as I openly share my feelings. My heart beats too loudly, and demands too much, to quiet these expressions.
I have a feeling you knew I was on fire when I left you in your car. I just wonder if you knew it was you who lit the fire. Did you know that the slightest pass on your part would have elicited uncontrollable passion from me? I have to guess you sensed some of this. So, I wonder, are you a master of self-control or am I undesirable? Let me be clear, I want you. I want your friendship, and I want to be your lover.
As I left the car, you touched my back, and I almost collapsed against you. Instead, I gently rubbed your arm and got out. I refuse to be quiet any longer, though, even if my only voice comes through this letter. (In affairs of the heart, I am often better on paper.) Likewise, I will not give up my fantasies for you. Not tonight, and not tomorrow. Yes, as tawdry and inarticulate as it might sound, the rest of this evening will find my mind filled with you, and my hand filled with my hard cock.
