Don't Be Late

10th Class:
As I sat in english class, I stared at the girl next to me.
She was my so called best friend,
I started at her long silky hair and wished she was mine.
but she didn't know it and I knew that.
After class she walked upto 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 dont want to be just friends,
I love her but I am just too shy
and I dont know why.

11th Class:
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 didnt 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 3 bags of chips
she decided to go home,
she looked at me and said thanks
and gave me a kiss on the cheek,
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I dont want to be just friends,
I love her but I am just too shy
and I dont know why.

12th Class: Senior Year
One fine day she walked to my locker
"my state is sick" she said,
"he is not gonna go well"
I didnt have a date ,

and in the class 7th 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
stared at her and she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eye
then she said I had the best time, thanks
and gave me a kiss on the cheek,
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I dont want to be just friends,
I love her but i am just too shy
and I dont know why.

Graduation:
A day passed then a week and then a month
before i could blink it was graduation day
I watched at her perfect body floated like an angel
up on stage to get her diploma
I wanted her to be mine
but she didnt 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 are my best friend thanks
and gave me a kiss on the cheek,
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I dont want to be just friends,
I love her but I am just too shy
and I dont know why.

Marriage:
Now I sit in the pews of church
that girl is getting married now
and drive her to her new life,
married to another man
I wanted her to be mine
but she didnt 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 gave me a kiss on the cheek,
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I dont want to be just friends,
I love her but i am just too shy
and I dont know why.

Death:
Years passed, I look down at the coffin of a girl who used to my best friend
at the service they read a diary
she had wriiten in her high school years
this is what it read
"I STARED AT HIM WISHING HE WAS MINE

BUT HE NEVER NOTICED ME LIKED THAT AND I KNOW IT
I WANT TO TELL HIM, I WANT HIM TO KNOW
THAT I DONT WANT TO BE JUST FRIENDS,
I LOVE HIM BUT I AM JUST TOO SHY
AND I DONT KNOW WHY.
I WISH HE WOULD TELL ME HE LOVED ME!"

'I wish I did it too............'
I thought to myself and cried.
