L.K.G---

As I sat there in English class, 

I stared at the girl next to me. 
She was my so-called 'best friend'. 
I stared at her long, silky hair, 
and wished she was mine. 
But she didn't notice me like that, 
and I knew it. After class, 
she walked up to me and asked me for 
the notes she had missed the day before. 
I handed them to her. 
She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. 
I want to tell her, I want her to know 
that I don't want to be just friends, 
I love her but I'm just too shy, 
and I don't know why. 


11th Grade 
The phone rang. On the other end, 
it was her. She was in tears, 
mumbling on and on about how her 
love had broke her heart. 
She asked me to come over because 
she didn't want to be alone, So I did. 
As I sat next to her on the sofa, 
I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. 
After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, 
and three bags of chips, she decided to go home. 
She looked at me, said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss 
on the cheek.. 
I want to tell her, I want her to know that 
I don't want to be just friends, 
I love her but I'm just too shy, 
and I don t know why. 

Graduation. 
A day passed, then a week, then a month. 
Before I could blink, it was graduation day. 
I watched as SHE walked like an angel 
up on stage to get her diploma. 
I wanted her to be mine-but 
she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. 
Before everyone went home, 
she came to me in her smock and hat, 
and cried as I hugged her. 
Then she lifted her head from my shoulder 
and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks' and 
gave me a kiss on the cheek. 
I want to tell her, I want her to know 
that I don t want to be just friends, 
I love her but I'm just too shy, 
and I don't know why. 


Marriage. 
Now I sit in the pews of the church. 
That girl is getting married now. 
and drive off to her new life, 
married to another man. 
I wanted her to be mine, 
but she didn't see me like that, 
and I knew it. 
But before she drove away, 
she came to me and said 'you came !'. 
She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek. 
I want her to know that 
I don't want to be just friends, 
I love her but I'm just too shy, 
and I don't know why. 


Death. 
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin 
of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'. 
At the service, they read a diary entry 
she had wrote in her high school years. 
This is what it read: 
"I stare at him wishing he was mine; 
but he doesn't notice me like that, 
and I know it. I want to tell him, 
I want him to know that 
I don't want to be just friends, 
I love him but I'm just too shy, 
and I don't know why. 
I wish he would tell me he loved me ! 
.........'I wish I did too...' 
I thought to my self, and I cried. 

* Do yourself a favour, tell her/him you love them. 
They won't be there...................Forever.
