easyguy Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 A friend of mine wrote this the other day and wanted me to post it here to inspire others to speak up. He prefers to be annonymous, so I'm going to use that for his name. Excuse the length... read the whole thing if you're going to read it! (it's moving) My So Called "Best Friend", by Annonymous I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didnt 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 handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that I don't wanna 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, a Drew Barrymore movie, & 3 bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that i don't wanna be just friends, I love her but im just too shy, and i don't know why. Senior Year The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick" she said; he's not gonna go. Well i didnt 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. Prom night After everything was over i was standing at her front door step. I stared at her, she smiled I want 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 wanna 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 Day 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 wanna tell her, i want her to know that I don't wanna be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. A Few Years Later Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" 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 wanna tell her, I want her to know that I dont wanna be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and i don't know why. Funeral 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 wanna tell him, I want him to know that I don't wanna 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 myself, and I cried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropToZero Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Very very good, great poem and a great lesson in life. See now why people should go thru life not regretting what they've done, but only what they didn't do. Tell your friend it's great tho, and I'd even be interested in reading more if he has any others to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boricua7 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Wow. That was good! Throughout the whole poem I was happy because he was always there for her when she needed him but the end almost made me cry. Good leasson: Never go through life regretting what you didn't do.

ShySoul Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Someone else posted that a long time ago. Nice to see it back in circulation. I agree with the message. Speak up. You don't want to live a life of what if's and regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
