LiFe'S sHoRt..

Hehe..

Kinda feel lazy today, so shan't be typing much..Ding sounds stressed out by the events happening..Dun fret man, we're always here to lend a helping hand, ya? Cheer up!!!

Was juz looking thru my mail..Chanced upon this touching story..Hope u all like it..


A guy and a girl can be just friends... but at one point or another one of them will fall for the other, maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late or maybe, just maybe...forever....

********************************************
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 don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't 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 broken 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" .

I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't 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. Then she said- "I had the best time ever, 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 but I'm just too shy.

*****************************************
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 angle up on stage to get her diploma.

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 ever, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

*****************************************
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married. 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.

*****************************************
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'. At the service, they read 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 my self, and I cried.

Life's short..So make sure u enjoy every moment of it and live it to the fullest!!!
