"You're so gorgeous..."

He has no idea that those
simple spoken words keep
me smiling on no end
That when he repeats
himself day after day,
it still has the same effect

"I wanted to kiss you..."

His lips left a tingling feeling
as soon as they parted mine
& I was speechless & afraid
because maybe he felt what
I had or maybe he didn't
& I don't know which one
scared me more than the other

"You're my ***** little secret..."

It was a mutual agreement
because both of us have
been shattered & molded
back together so many times
that we didn't think our
hearts could take another break

"We should be dating..."

His words surprised me
because I knew how
important his friendship was
& how much he didn't want
to be in a relationship,
but I smiled so wide as
he spoke them to me

"I'm going to tell him..."

His best friend absolutely
despises me for reasons that are
completely ridiculous &
unfair on both of our parts
He thinks he owns me &
that I'm basically his property
It's his best friend though &
friendship is far more important

"You NEED to be my girlfriend..."

He was playing with my hair
& staring at me with his arm
tightly holding me against him
& I was tracing his tattoo with
the tip of my index finger,
trying to form the words that
I wanted to say, but couldn't
quite figure out how

"I'm so happy you're mine..."

I have never heard those words
together in the same sentence
in my entire life & I reread
his text probably twelve times
before finally smiling &
replying back with some
cheap emoticon that I later
regretted, but ignored

& now I need to speak up,

It's time to take chances...
