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...

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[/color], 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 left... 
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 left... 
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... 

Senior year... 

One fine day she walked to my locker 
"My date is sick" she said, "hes not gonna go well", 
I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, 
we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, 
we would go together just as 'best friends' 
So we did...That night, after everything was over, 
I was standing at her front door step 
I stared at her as She smiled at me 
and stared at me with her crystal eyes 
Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!" and 
left... 
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 her perfect body floated 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 left... 
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 left... 
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
