I was browing though some of my old stuff and came across my school diary. I had done lot of ramblings and amongst them I found this long lost story and a poem. All the people who had read it so far liked it, hope you like it too.
10th Grade
As I sat in the 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, se walked upto me and
Asked me for notes
She had missed them the day before
I handed them to her
She said “thanks” and left…
I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know
That I don’t want to be just friends,
I love her but I’m too shy,
And I don’t know why…
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 mind
After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie
And three bags of chips, She decided to go home
She looked at me, said “thanks” and left…
I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know
That I don’t want to be just friends,
I love her but I’m too shy,
And I don’t know why…
2nd Year
One fine day she walked to my locker
“My date is sick” she said “her not gonna go well”
I didn’t have a date, and in 7th grade
We made a promise that if neighther of us had dates
We would go together “just as friends”
So we did… that night, after the party 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 left…
I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know
That I don’t want to be just friends,
I love her but I’m 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 wateched her as her perfect body floated like an angel
Up on the stage to get her diploma
I wanted her to be min, 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 are my best friend, thanks” and left…
I wanted to tell her, I wanted her to know
That I don’t want to be just friends,
I love her but I’m too shy,
And I don’t know why…
Marriage
Now i sat 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…
Before she drove away,
She came to me and said “You came!”
She said “Thanks” and left
Death
Years passed, I looked down 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 hight 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
Want him to know that
I don’t want to be friends,
I love him but I’m too shy,
And I don’t know why…
I wish he would tell me that he loved me!”
…I wish I did too
I thought to myself and cried…
Do yourself a favour, Tell him/her you love them….
They woun’t be there forever…

and this poem too
I lie awake at night
See things in black and white
Ive only got you in my mind
You knw you have made me blind
I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
Ive all this singing in my heart
I knew it right from start
I used to write your name
And put it in a frame
And sometimes I think I hear you call
Right from my bedroom wall
You stay a little while
And touch me with your smile
And what can I say to make you mine
To reach out for you in time
