Best Friend
There are so many things I wish I could say
 But seeing your face,
 My throat closes up and there's no air to breathe
 I open my mouth,
 But I just stand there with my mouth gaping wide
 My head is pounding
 With thousands of thoughts I wish that you could read
 But you just stand there,
 Staring at me with that confused and blank look
 What is wrong with me?
 Why can't I just tell you how I really feel?
 I need to tell you
 Because I feel like I just might explode now
 But no words come out
 Because you make my heart pound and my palms sweat
 You make me crazy
 With your little smirks and endless smart remarks
 You make me so mad
 With your infuriating teasing and jokes
 But you make me laugh
 When I hate the world and want to run away
 You make me happy
 On my worst day when I want to scream and cry
 How can I tell you
 All these things you make me feel with what you do?
 How to make you see
 That you are my everything, my thoughts, my life?
 Finally I smile,
 And muster up the courage to say the words
 I say, "I love you"
 You chuckle and say, "Of course, we are best friends,
 And I love you too"
 But I don't hear you,
 I'm too busy listening to my heart break
 I watch you walk up
 To the pretty and skinny blonde haired girl
 She is your girlfriend
 You smile and bend down to kiss her on the lips
 I hear you whisper,
 "I love you gorgeous"
 Into her ear and she smiles back up at you
 My heart is broken
 And you are oblivious just like before
 But it is okay
 Because you are happy and that's all I want
 You look back at me
 And smile warmly while waving goodbye
 I take a deep breath
 Then fake my best smile and wave back at you
 I wait til you're gone
 Before I let the tears fall so you won't see
 I understand now,
 I am always going to be the best friend
