Eternal Regrets
Tenth 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. However, she didn't
look at 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 and I handed
them to her. She said "thanks" and gave
me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted 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.
Eleventh 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 go over because
she didn't want to be alone. And so I did. As I sat
down next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft
eyes, wishing she was mine. After two 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 wanted 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
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My
date is sick" she said; he's not going for the
prom. I didn't have a date and in seventh grade, we
made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we
would go together just as "best friends".
And so we did. On 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 blue eyes. I want her to be mine, but she
doesn'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 wanted 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 Day
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 wanted 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.
A Few Years Later
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 wanted 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.
Funeral
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 is 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.
I Love You
If you like someone, tell them. Don't wait until
it’s too late as it may lead to a life of eternal
regret.
