It's 7th Grade
I stared at the girl next to me,
I'm Calvin Nicholas Ford and I'm deeply inlove with Nathalie Keith Claver she was my so called bestfriend
I stared at her..
long, silky hair and I wished she was mine but she didn't notice me like that, I knew it
After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and I handed them to her
she said "Thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek
I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends I love her but I'm too shy to tell her and I don't know why..
It's Junior Year
my phone rang..
on the other end,
It was her..
she was in tears,
mumbling on and on about how her love had broken 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 two hours..
she decided to go to sleep,
she looked at me..
said "Thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek
I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends I love her but I'm too shy to tell her and I don't know why..
It's Senior Year
The day before Prom..
She walk to my locker
"My date is sick" she said.
He's not going..
Well,
I didn't have a date and in 7th Grade we made a promise that neither of us had dates, we'd go together just as "Bestfriends"
And so we did..
It's Prom Night
After everything was over with,
I was standing at her front door step..
I stared at her..
She smiled at me
I wanted her to be mine,
but she doesn't think of me like that..
And I know it
Then she said..
"I had the best time, thanks!"
And gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I wanted to tell her, I wanted 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..
It's Graduation Day
A day passed..
And then a week..
And then a month..
Before I could blink,
It was Graduation Day!
I watched her, perfect body..
Floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma..
I wanted her to be mine,
But she doesn't think of me that way..
And I know 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 shoulders and said..
"You're my Bestfriend, thanks"
And gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know that I wanted to be more than "just friends" I love her but I'm too shy and I don't know why..
It's a few years later
Now I sit in the pews of the church
A church that she is getting married now
I watched her say "I do"
A 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! Thanks!" and kissed me on the cheek.
I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know that I didn't want to be "just friends"
I love her but I'm just too shy and I don't know why..
Years passed
I looked downat the coffin of a girl who used to be my "Bestfriend"
At the service they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years,
This is what it said..
"I stare at him, wishing he was mine but he doesn't notice me like that
And I know it
I wanted to tell him, I wanted him to know that I don't want to be "just friends"
I love him but I'm just too shy..
And don't know why.
I wish he would tell me he loved me."
I wish I did it too, I thought to myself and I cried.
