• My heart beats quickly
    When he is near.
    My breath quickens
    As he looks my way.

    I have known him for years,
    My best friend.
    Oh how I long to fall into his embrace
    To feel his lips upon mine.
    I waited too long to tell him how I feel.

    Now he holds his girl close to him.
    I wish that was me,
    Feeling his breath on my skin,
    His voice soft as he whispers in my ear.
    But it’s not me, I’m not his girl.

    I waited so long,
    It’s too late,
    Much too late.
    I wonder if I will ever get the chance to tell him,
    “I love you”
