my best friend
i know i just asked this... Ok. I have liked my best friend for about 18 months. I had asked her out once and she said she wanted to stay friends. So i let it go. its been about a year since then and whenever we are together, we are either holding hands or hugging or whatever. We had gone on a school field trip and we were together the whole time and we were constantly holding hands or hugging as i mentioned and she gave me kisses on the cheek. She had even fallen asleep on me on the way back. I really don't know if we should stay best friends, or if she likes me and i should ask her out again. please help. any advice is appreciated.
If i decide to tell her i like her, how do i do it because she is always surrounded by friends and it makes it difficut and im not shy around her but when it comes to telling her i like her, i don't really want to make her feel awkward. i had read this poem and i think you guys should read it. i just feel like my self around her all the time and she makes me feel like i have never felt before.but then again, i dont want to ruin the relationship we have now. ive already asked her out once a year ago and she said she just wanted to be friends. but idk if tht means i shouldn't g for it again and how to go about it. my best guy friend says i shouldn't tell her but i want to try and do it without making the friendship awkward. here is the poem:
10th grade **********
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 notice 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 dont want to be just friends,
I love her
but I'm just too shy,
and 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.
After 2 hours,
one Drew Barrymore movie,
and three bags of chips,
she decided to go to sleep.
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,
and I dont 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 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.
Prom 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.
I want her to be mine,
but she isn'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 dont want to be just friends,
I love her but
I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
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 want to tell her,
I want her to know
that I dont want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
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 want to tell her,
I want her to know
that I dont want to be just friends,
I love her
but I'm just too shy, and I don't 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 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.
Do yourself a favor, tell her/him you love them. They won't be
there forever.

this wanted to make me cry its so cute. let me tell ya, ive liked my best friend for about two years now, i can be myself around him and i feel like the luckiest girl when im with him BUT to him we are just...best friends. i havent told him i liked him and i regret not doing so. and now he has a girlfriend and what does that make me now? still just his best friend. tell her you want to be more than friends..tell her you want to give it another shot and to see what happens. you dont want to go living on "what if..." like i did. give her the poem, it will definatley touch her heart because it sure touched me :) from the signs of what she does, it seems to me that she is falling for you. take a chance, it could be one of the greatest things you have done!
if you need any more adivce, let me know!

wow...i love the poem..i write poems myself..but that one is amazing. i love it. My opinion is that you should tell her you like her. The poem even says that, i mean..if you were the guy in the poem, how would you feel if that happened. you got to go for it. i mean, the worst she could say is ...i jsut want to be friends but at least you know that she will always be there for you and be your friend if that happens. You have to tell her, you really do. You don't wnat to live your life thinking what would have happened if i asked her out and it actuall worked. So take the chance and if she doesn't want to, you are no better off then you were. But ther is a 50% chance that she would say yes and you would jump with joy and it could be you that she actually says i do to!!! Well i think you should give her the poem too. The poem is a wonderful poem and expresses feelings very well. It is amazing. Go for it and give her all you got. Good luck and i hope this helps!!!
