This story (not a true one) always makes me cry so I thought I'd put it up.
(I didn't write this by the way)


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 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, "he's 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...
