Don't Be Late To Tell Someone That You Love Them tell her/him you love them

[OpaQue 15]

Another Email I got...

10 th GradeAs 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 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 home.
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 don't know why.

Senior year
One fine day 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.
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.
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 don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

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

Death.
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 my self, and I cried.


* Do yourself a favour, tell her/him you love
them.

    They wont be there ........forever

Wow, emotion. What a great little email, thanks for sharing that. I kind of fit right into that story as well...only I've been told by the girl that she wants to be just friends (we've been friends since 5th grade), and I'm in college....

Awww, what a sad story . I made a topic in here asking about if I should tell my friend that I like her.. I guess this gives me some reassurance to tell her, eh?

I love this little poem.Because of simular experiences and difficult things that have happened to me in the past I make sure that people know when they are special to me. I call it my No Regrets policy. You see I don't want to be sitting at death's door many years down the line feeling like a horrible person because I never took the time to tell someone they impacted my life or were special. I also don't want some one to die before they know they are special. There have been too many family and friends that I have lost that did not know that I loved them.

Awwwwww! That is such a sweet poem! Don't wait. It's a lesson I've learned, if you wait, you'll be one-step behind your love, and then you'll just be hanging on, wishing him or her the best while your other half wishes him or her to leave the other and come to you.

Damn, i know this feeling first hand, she hasnt married yet, and she isnt dead yet, thank god, but i missed my chance, i love her so much and i was going to ask her out but i didnt.. then another guy came along and asked her to dance at our prom.. needless to say she got with him and i found out a few weeks later that she had liked me for a long time. Damn that hurt so much i cant describe it. So i agree, always tell someone you love them, dont do it tomorrow, dobit today, you dont know whats going to happen tomorrow, you might not even be here
