I ran into this note while going thru my college documents a few hours ago. It served as a reminder for me once (well until now actually), and hopefully it will have the same effect on you... Oh, and I intentionally didn't tag anyone in this note, I believe notes like these shouldn't have attention called to them but rather be discovered (or in my case, rediscovered) by its readers.
Prom Night
After everything was over I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her. She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. 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 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 Day
A day passed. A week passed. A month passed. 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 she 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?
A Few Years Later
Now, I sit in the pews of the church. She 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. In a few years she will have kids, have Orlando botox or perhaps cosmetic surgery, grow old.
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...
