The Love Letter

10th Grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next 2 me. She was my so-called "best friend"

I stared at her long, silky hair. I wished she were mine, but she didn't notice me like that & I knew it.

After class she walked up 2 me & asked me for the notes she had missed the day before, & I handed them 2 her.

She said "thanks" & gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted 2 tell her. I
wanted her 2 know that I don't want 2 be just friends. I love her, but I'm just 2 shy & I don't know why.

11th Grade

The phone rang. It was her on the other end. She was in tears, mumbling on & on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me 2 come over because she didn't want 2 be alone, so I did.

As I sat next 2 her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine.

After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie, & three bags of chips, she decided 2 go 2 sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks," & gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want 2 tell her. I want her 2 know that I don't want 2 be just friends. I love her, but I'm
just 2 shy. & I don't know why.

12th Grade

The day before prom she walked 2 my locker. "My date is sick," she said.
”He's not going 2 go.” Well, I didn't have a date & in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we would go 2gether 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 at me & stared at me with her crystal eyes.
I want her 2 be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, & I know it.
Then she said, "I had the best time, thanks!" & 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 2 shy. & 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 2 get her diploma. I wanted her 2 be mine, but she didn't notice
me like that, & I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came 2 me in her
smock & hat, & she cried as I hugged her. Then, she lifted her head from my shoulder & said,

"You're my best friend, thanks!" & gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want 2
tell her. I want her 2 know that I don't want 2 be just friends. I love her, but I'm just 2 shy. & 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" & drive off 2 her new life, married 2 another man. I wanted her 2 be mine but she didn't see me like that, & I knew it. But before she drove away, she came 2 me & said, "You came!" She said, "Thanks!" & kissed me on the cheek. I want 2 tell her. I want her 2 know that I don't want 2 be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. & I don't know why...

Funeral

Yrs passed, & I looked down at the coffin of the girl who used 2 be my best
friend." At the service they read a diary entry she had written in her high
school years.

This is what it read:

”I stare at him wishing he were mine. But he doesn't notice me like that,
& I know it. I want 2 tell him. I want him 2 know that I don't want 2 be just friends. I love him, but I'm just 2 shy, & I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me... ”

I wish I did too... I thought 2 myself, & I cried.

IF THERES SOMEONE U LOVE U BETTER SAY IT ON TIME, HE/SHE MAY ALSO BE IN LOVE WIT U! Don’t be a slacker like this guy and babe here. Anyway, I trust you all.

Love y’all!!!!

Rina, it is always better to speak ones mind. That way one will not be left wondering.
Even if I am rejected, I am mature enough to know that some things are
just not meant to be. It does not mean that the person hates me.

Well that should apply to everyone really.

I guess when it comes to affairs of the heart, if I don't have some idea that the person is interested, it's really hard for me to say anything. I guess I'm really "old fashioned" like that. You know, where the guy has to make the first "move"; don't get me wrong, I will give him hints and stuff like extra smiles, but he has to take the first step!
Which is crazy when you think about it; I mean he could be waiting for me to take the first step! Confused

My best friend never gave me any clues how he felt about me.
The last time I spoke with him was when I told him I was getting
married. Still he said nothing.

2 years ago he finally told me, that he was planning to propose to
me, when I told him I was getting married
I was shocked because he never gave me any clues about his feelings,
so I kept my own feelings under lock and key.

Life never goes according to plan Crying or Very sad

You know it's never too late! In Liberia we say "old fire coal is not hard to catch"; you know when the fire has "died" and all that's left is the embers......sometimes you can find a piece of coal and blow on it and it will light up again. So don't loose hope......unless of course you're "princess" in which case, it is late for your friend! Wink

Too late for HIM. He married someone else.

You didn't deny being "princess"; does that mean Player has expressed his intentions? Smile

The "giddah queen" lives on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Green

Come on now Rina, how can I be Player's Princess?
Do know my age? I hardly think a young man like
Player would be declaring his affections towards
an OLD WOMAN,who has clocked nearly half a
century on this earth. Very Happy

No!! No!! No!!

If you are saying it's not you either then we can
safely conclude it's someone called Michele.

I think it's you though. There are a lot of his posts that you replied to, and the bond could have started from there. And younger men actually like older women, because there's maturity, experience, confidence, beauty; even though you haven't posted any pictures, the way you talk, your inner beauty comes out! So I think that is what Player is attracted to. Cool

your investigations. You are wrong again Razz
