How Can I Know?

You smile at me and I melt. You walk by and my heart skips a beat. When I look in your eyes, I get goosebumps. I see all that you are, and all that we have shared. You are a best friend. I can tell you anything and everything and know that I can trust you with the matters of my heart. Your fingertips, your hair, your eyes, your lips are so much more than just how you look. I could trace them all and know them exactly. We were once so close; now we stand arm's length apart, a sheet of glass between us.

 He smiles and I can't help but to smile back. I have never met anyone who shares so much of my outlook on life. He takes me out to dinner, holds my hand, listens when I need to talk, and jokes when I need a smile. He is the perfect gentleman, someone who wants to see me happy. He is the guy that all girls wish they could call hers. I can spend hours with him and not notice the time. But is it love? I want to give him what he deserves, which is so much, but how can I when I am wishing that I felt the same feelings with him, that I felt with you.

I hear your song and cry...everytime without fail. I see your picture and wonder if it could ever work. We talk and I realize that I still haven't gotten over that girly feeling I get being around you. Is it not meant to work out? You will always be a part of my life, but will you always be jsut too far to reach? We've been there for each other through a lot, and sometimes it's been rough. You're not perfect and neither am I. I'm not old enough to worry about marriage just yet, well at least not in my mind, so this is probably just a small hill that lies in my path. He and I, me and you.... which is right if any?.......... The innocent but ever present happiness that I feel with you through all the ups and downs, or the contentment of being with such an amazingly thoughful and kind guy.

I would love advice if anyone has any. Thanks!
