You can throw this away, I won't mind.
I don't usually write notes; I wanted to tell you this on Friday but the words stuck in my throat. I've always been better at writing than speaking. I'm sorry and thank you.
When I wrote that shared journal I was stereotyping. Reading the journal, others had written the same type of thing: their own biases about the opposite gender. I was just brave enough(or most likely stupid enough) to read my own opinions out loud. Although I still believe some of those comments are true about some guys in the world I want you to know I wasn't thinking of you. You are very smart and you acted maturely about my opinions and never disrespected me. I didn't ever think I would feel thankful for someone merely respecting me but it meant a lot here.
There are other guys who probably were respectful about my shared journal but I just feel I need to write this to you so that somebody knows. I'm still not even sure if I will give this to you, I'm such a coward. It just felt good to write it out.
I guess notes passed in school hallways are supposed to be funny huh? Sorry if I let you down. =) But I did tell you from the start you didn't really have to read this.

P.S. I thought your poem was very artistic and original, as your writing always is when you choose to share it (or you're forced to share it). Don't be afraid to share your writing because I always enjoy hearing it and I think others would too.
Readers(if I had any), you don't have to understand the entire situation to understand the feelings and meanings behind my words.
