I even less understand anonymity if you're confessing to really strong feelings. What's the point of saying it at all if the person doesn't know who it's coming from? Possible scenarios when they get this card full of strong feelings are:
a) they know it's you, and there's no point in being anonymous, or b) they have absolutely no idea who it is, in which case what have you achieved by telling them your feelings? or c) they don't suspect you & they think it's somebody else, in which you'll potentially be badly hurt when they bounce at you and tell you how happy they are because they think X sent them this wonderful message of undying love, or d) they'll suspect more than one person, including you, in which case they'll be confused, and they won't know how to behave around any of the people they suspect, and e) d00m.
The card was very sweet though. :) Sorry, I didn't mean to sound unappreciative, I've wandered off into hypothetical d00m-laden situations now.
