The Reflection

We have only been friends for a few months
we have a great time hanging out
we talk as if we've been friends forever
as if it was meant to be

He came and asked me for help
it looked like he was nervous
I asked what was wrong
of course I will help him

He started explaining his problem
there was a girl he liked
and he didn't exactly know
how to ask her out

He became all giddy
when he described her
the biggest smile I ever seen
was platered on his face

I began to feel different then
a feeling I've never felt before
then I realized the truth
I was jealous

He told me she was beautiful
the most gorgeous girl of all
her smile would light up the room
he couldn't stop staring at her eyes

He said she was smart and funny
her laugh would make him melt
he said he would do anything
just to be with her forever

As I was listening to this
my mind was filled with thoughts
I began to wonder why
he didn't see those things in me

Was I not beautiful
or smart or funny
was smile not as bright
were my eyes not worth looking into

Then it hit me
harder than anything before
I can't believe I never noticed it
I was in love with this man

What was happening to me
why do I love someone so much
I call him my friend and nothing more
when did it all change

When he finished talking about her
he wasked me what I thought
he wants to know if he has a chance
and what was he supposed to do

I knew he was my friend
and if I had the same problem
he would be there for me
so there was only one thing to do

I told him he should tell her
everything he felt
to hold nothing back
I believe he has a chance

Then I told myself
I should take my own advice
but I couldn't do that to him
he was in love with this girl

I gave him a smile
and told him to go do it
before it was too late
he smiled back and said thanks

My tears started to build up
I couldn't let him see me cry
he told me he was glad
he had a friend like me

Before he got up to leave
he reached in his pocket
he said I knew who she was
and that i would adore her

He said he had a picture
he wanted me to see it
I said sure no problem
and he placed it in my hand

As I looked at what was in my hand
the tears began to fall
I couldn't believe who I was looking at
I was looking into a mirror
