He said he would have died,
for my love to be given to him.
But why must he say that?
He knows I can no longer love him.
You see we met a long time ago,
and his striking smile won my heart then.
But many moons later,
he spills his aching heart out
when he knows I sadly moved on.
He was my best friend,
my playmate on speed dial.
He taught me about basketball
And how to beat up the mean boys.
Since the day he stood up for me,
my heart has thought of him as nothing but a lover.
Days, Weeks, Months, Years
They all went by,
and my playmate on speed dial
remained my best friend.
Now we were teens,
And other boys and girls threatened our stance.
Giggling girls touching his arm
And boisterous boys gawking at my chest.
This boy remained my best friend
all throughout my childhood.
That year of the dragon
was when it all flew downhill.
I opened my heart
for him to be let in.
But that year my best friend
Got his first girlfriend.
They went everywhere together
Leaving my heart out of the picture.
I desperately wanted to tell him
That he was killing my heart with every breath he took.
But I refrained from my secrets
for he thought he was in love.
When in the end, not love at all
Nothing mutual anyway.
She broke his heart
In a million pieces.
My poor best friend left with a broken heart.
What do I tell him
about getting over her?
I know how he feels I say.
He doesn't understand he says.
I love you I say.
I can't help it anymore.
I've loved you everyday I've known you.
But you never saw
What was in front of your face
Until the day I moved on.
I gave up on your love,
mother told me it was probably just a crush.
What a Crush it was.
It crushed me.
I was alone in the world.
Not even my playmate on speed dial
Could save me from this feeling.
You told me you loved me and always will
but your feelings weren't mutual
or so you thought.
A few Years down the road
You came to me and said
I have missed you best friend.
Placing your lips upon mine.
Something I had always dreamed of.
You finally realized you too were in love with me.
It's hard for me to say this wasn't a happy ending.
For my husband was quite upset
when he found out you kissed me.
