Email stories 2

Before I let you all read the story, just wanna say sometimes it really pays to persevere. I was beginning to feel dumb by logging onto MSN literally every waking minute despite not having my lap top but today it finally paid off. Luckily I decided to log on for that 5 min before I was supposed to go to school and managed to do a good deed :D

Anyway here goes the story. Received 6th Mar 2001:


Subject :
I Wish I Did...

10th grade
**********
As I sat there in english class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called 'best friend'. I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it.

After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before. handed them to her. She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I dont know why.

11th grade
**********
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did.

As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine.

After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheak. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I dont know why.

Senior year
***********
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick" she said,"hes not gonna go" well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together-just as 'best friends'. So we did.Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step.I stared at her as she she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, and I know it.

Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dont want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angle up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine-but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as i hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say 'i do' and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said 'you came!'. She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dont want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.

At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: "I stare at him wishing he was mine; but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me!

'I wish I did too...' I thought to my self, and I cried.

Do yourself a favor, tell her/him you love them. They won't be there forever.

Sometimes I wonder along the way where did all these emails disappear to. Is it because all of us had grown older and the impact of such stories are not that strong anymore? Is it because we are busier nwo and we don't bother to forward such things anymore? In my JC days I used to receive at least 2 such emails per week. Now all I get are junk mails and emails telling to to sign up for this website for free sms, update my birthday particulars or to update my address. I know you all mean well, but the last thing I want is to have my details online and exposed to some idiots. I already received a funny msg from a guy on sms.ac So yeah, please don't add me to such websites. Anything just email me or add me to your MSN. I am nearly always online (at least before I go to Tekong anyway). So yeah back to main topic, if got such emails forward to me lah, I am a sucker for such tragic/sweet emails :P
