Delays r dangerous in LOVE

A simple love-story.

Class 10...

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 think of 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, ....I dont know why.

Class 11...

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.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,
... I dont know why.

Second year...

The day before a college dance festival she walked to my locker. "My date is
sick" she said, "he's not gonna go" well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th
class, 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. 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, ...I dont know why.

A day passed, then a week, then a month ... and more time.

Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body
floated like an angle upon 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,
..I dont know why.

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married... the one
I have loved all my life 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 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 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, ...I dont know why.

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, I wish he would tell me he
loved me. But he's just too shy, ...I dont know why."



'I wish I did too...' I thought to my self, and I cried. Everyone... this is
one of those timeless tales which might have happened at anytime... might
even be happening rite now in your life .. maybe !!! So do yourself a
favour, tell her/him you love them 'cuz they just won't be there forever.

Wishing you all the best & hey remember that for the world you might be one
person but for one person ya might be world...got it? ...hey so what are ya
waitin' for ...bang on ya love one's home & start firin'... take care.
