Just A Friend

I always just thought of you as just a friend. I guess I was wrong. You were more and I didn't realize it. I was so blind.

We went to the same school for four years. We were the best of friends. We shared all our secrets.

Then after high school we went our seperate ways. I went to join my boyfriend at Yale. You stayed behind all by yourself and went to the local college.

Turns out things between my boyfriend and I didn't really work out so well. So I showed up to the reunioun alone.

The second I walked through the door of that ballroom I heard my name. I searched the crowd to see where it had come from. Yet I saw no one. You ran up behind me and said hello. We talked for a while until they started playing music. You asked me to dance. I said sure. We danced all night and maybe got a little drunk. At the end of the night you walked me to my car. I rolled down the window to tell you thanks. When I did you leaned over and told me you had a present to give me. I asked you if I could have it and what it was. You told me to close my eyes, so I did. When they were shut I felt your warm, soft lips touch mine. If it had been 5 years ago I would have pulled back and called you crazy. But know I just stayed there and let you kiss me.

I'll always remember that kiss. It happened again, too. On our wedding day. I have a picture of it, too. It's on our mantle. I love that picture. I love that man. I love you. And I always will.
