He Doesn't Know

He Doesn't Know
By: Valerie Barnard

He doesn't know I like him,

He doesn't know how much I care.

Sometimes I think to myself, does he know I'm here?

He doesn't know how much I hide,

The feelings that I feel.

The way he talks to me, and makes me feel so real.

Sometimes I wonder if we will ever be more than just friends,

If we'll make it to the very end.

When I fall asleep at night,

I look up at the stars,

That he doesn't understand that he's my brightest star.

He is like a best friend or so he seems to think he is to me,

But does he know how much he actually means to me?

I really like him, and I don't know what to do.

What do I say to him, "I like you"?

I guess my feelings will stay inside,

I'll keep them hid away.

Soon enough he'll understand,

That I'm doing this cause I want him to stay.

I don't want to lose him, I couldn't picture it if I tried.

That deep down these feelings want out, that I try to hide.

I really am stumped, I just don't know what to do.

"Guess what? There is something I have to tell you. I like you."

Do I blurt it out to him? Or do I keep them hid away?

That someday alone, I'll find a way to say,

"I liked you, from the moment we met. Until this very day.

But sometimes I hide it, cause what good is it going to be to say?"

I think I'll just keep this all to myself, these feelings that I hide.

That deep down he changed my body, soul, and mind.

I know we'll only be, good enough as friends.

So, I'll have to deal with it until the very end.
