Tribute

HA!

Finally.
I confessed, right? Ha ha.
Well, maybe to you it didn't matter. Much.
You knew it already, after all.
But to me, whoa. Another enormous burden, gone.

I did not do myself justice that day.
In the words of the Gallaghers,
"There are many things that I would like to say to you,
but I don't know how."
This is one effort to say those things.
Hope you read this.

You asked, what made me, you know,
fall for you.
To tell the truth, well, I still don't know for sure.
But I answered (rather jokingly),
that you were handsome, kind, and funny.
We laughed, I know.
But that's true. Really.
You are kind. And funny.
And, in my eyes, yes, you are beautiful.

I wonder, how did you know of my feelings?
Was it very obvious? I hope not.
Was it because I have been quiet to you?
Was it because of that Krispy Kreme I nearly bought for you?
Was it because that time when I kept you company
while waiting for your car?
Shucks. I'll ask you the next time you're online.

As you know, I did not ask you to be my girlfriend.
One reason, as I told you, was that there was another woman.
Or rather, that you were the other woman. Ha ha.
Another reason was, well,
I know that you already have that crush on that guy.
(As if anyone in our class hadn't known that yet.)
And, call me a hopeless romantic, but
I'd rather you get him than I get you. Get it? Ha ha.
And the last reason was that
I thought I wouldn't be able to be a good companion to you.
I couldn't make you laugh like he does so easily everyday.
I couldn't talk to you about all those interesting stuff you like.
Heck, I couldn't even make fun of you like they do.
(Although for this one I am not sorry.)

So? What next?
I know I confessed. And I said I wasn't going to make you my girlfriend.
But who knows? My mind changes a lot.
What am I going to do in the future? I don't know.
But this I know:
You will never be 'just a friend' to me.
You have somehow made yourself special to me.
And that is quite an extraordinary accomplishment.

Remember. You are special. If to no one else, to me you are.
