Me n My Friend

10 th Grade:
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 gave me a kiss on the cheek.
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 gave me a kiss
on the cheek..
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 gave me a kiss on the cheek.
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
gave me a kiss on the cheek.
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 kissed me on the cheek.
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.

How much you mean to me

One day when you feel alone

Remember i'm at the end of a phone

I love you loads

And that must show

I want to let all the world to know

I have a friend, that is you

I love you for all you do

Your face so sweet and your heart so gentle

Keeping me together when i'm going mental

Telling me you love me and that you hold me tight

Being there for me even in the night

Thank you friend you mean a lot to me

Maybe now you'll see

How much you mean to me

Fate . . .

However far apart
Two lovers roads maybe
If they are made for each other
And all is meant to be...

Their roads will wind together
No given time or place
Two hearts will beat as one
Theirs souls, tightly embrace

A piece of each ones heart
Will hold the other's name
Engraved upon it perfectly
While all else remains the same

Now these hearts are beating
But they'll separate again
Leave each other's arms
Cause each other pain

Separated lovers
Waiting for one thing
To cross paths once again
And see what life will bring . . .

Why you are my Friend . .

When i heard you speak,
Emotions in hand, tongue in cheek
Couldn't help but see,
A reflection in you of me.

Speaking thoughts, i always knew,
never did say before, but its true
think the same way as you do,
i know everything you say is true

But think as you speak, for
You speak on many more
Thoughts we may not agree on,
Things we could only fight on

But remembering things we share,
Knowing that we both will always care
for a smile, a laugh, a glance this way,
Knowingly, i look away

A tear to hide, a smile to share
Things we do, with friends so rare
To know each other better,
With every year together . .

Friend

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you.
And share with you it's beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea.
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me,
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be...what I know best,
a friend that's always there.
