I became foolish and then became nice. I married my bestfriend and we build our own house

This is why I cant tell her

IT'S 7TH GRADE
I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called 'best friend'. I stared at her long, silky hair. And I 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, 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 too shy to tell her, and I don't know why.

IT'S JUNIOR YEAR.
My 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. A Drew Barrymore movie and 3 bags of chips. She decided to go to sleep she looked at me and 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 too shy to tell her and I don't know why.

IT'S SENIOR YEAR.

The day before prom. She walked to my locker. 'My date is sick' she said. He's not going to go. Well. I didn't have a date and in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we'd go together just as 'best friends', and so we did.

IT'S PROM NIGHT.
After everything was over with I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her. She smiled at me. I wanted 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 she gave me a kiss on the cheek. 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 just too shy and I don't know why

IT'S GRADUATION DAY.
A day passed. Then a

week. And then a month. Before I could blink. It was graduation day. I watched her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine but she doesn't think of me that way and I know 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 shoulders and said 'you're my best friend'. 'Thanks!'. And gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her. I wanted to know that I wanted to be more than 'just friends'. I love her but I'm too shy and I don't know why.

IT'S A FEW YEARS LATER.
Now I sit in the pews of the church. She is getting married now. I watched her say 'I do' an 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!. Thanks!'. And she kissed me on the cheek. I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to know that I didn't want to be 'just friends'. I love her but I'm just too shy and I don't know why.

YEARS PASSED.
I look 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 said. 'I stare at him wishing he was mine but he doesn't notice me like that and I know it. I wanted to tell him, I wanted 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.

-------------------------------------------------

This is a good story and it made me cry every time I tried to read it. Maybe I can relate to what the story is trying to imply to its readers. I had been so quite with my feelings for someone for a long time and it made me feel depressed. We had to take different roads to find our own way of living, she remained as beautiful as always and I became to best man in my chosen field. I should say that I became successful and paved my way to what I really dreamed doing with the rest of my life. I've been to different relationships but still unhappy. She found a guy that will love her for the rest of her life, she thought. I decided to look for myself and made a voyage to unknown terrain. I spend a long time living as a farmer in a fisherman's world hoping to fulfill the emptiness inside of me. She remained happy with the guy she love. After my soul searching years, after times of foolishness I returned to my sanity. I took the life that I used to live and tried to love it and again became as successful as ever. I tried to build my own company and became successful. One day I heard a news from a friend that the girl I once loved is taking her last days as a miss and soon to be married to the guy she love. Upon hearing the news I realized that all this time of searching only she can complete my life. I tried to look for her and found her working as an employee in my company. I introduced myself as a stranger in the best way that I can. I ask her if we can still be friends and she answered yes. By the way I didn't tell her that I own the company where she used to work. I introduced myself as a regular employee. For the second time I felt like a new born man. A week before her wedding day we decided to spend some time together realizing our past mistakes and how we ended up today. We spend those days as if it was our last days on earth. We became foolish never thinking of anything. Before the week ended I told her that I had the best days of my life. While crying she ask me to be the bestman on her wedding. Even though it was hard for me to accept I still agree to be the bestman. We were crying as we parted ways that day. On her wedding day before I went to the church I found an old picture of ours, I cried as I look at the picture wishing to be her groom. At the wedding. It amazes me when I saw her walking with the most beautiful gown. I turned away and walk out of the church before they exchange their vows. I was crying while walking out of the church. I believed I've been a coward to let go of the girl I love the most. Suddenly I heard her voice calling my name, as I turned my back I saw her running towards me. She told me she don't want to get married to that guy, I ask her why and said she want me to be the groom. Mixed emotions aroused, we were crying while hugging each other. We drive to the place where we used to spend our old days. For the second time the lion fell in love with the lamb. It was the best days of my life. We shared the rest of our lives together. I married my bestfriend. We became husband and wife, we build our own family. Now she is pregnant with our first child.

Someone asked me what I've done in the past, I answered 'I became foolish and then became nice. I married my bestfriend and we build our own house.'
