I wished she was mine
Here is a beautiful poem I like. I personally like it because it reminds me of some situations that came across with me during my school days!Its a beautiful poem ... please find some time to read it!!
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.
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.
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,
"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.
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 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 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 written 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.
