Love Is Strange!!

vSlow Down~

Life is not a race. It is a journey.

Getting someplace first, before anyone else, has very little real and
lasting meaning. Seek instead to encourage others to come along, and you'll
find the journey much more fulfilling.

When you hurry through each moment, you miss out on the richness that could
be yours. Take the time to live, to experience where you are, rather than
being so obsessed with getting to the next checkpoint.

When you stop demanding to have it all now, you'll discover that you have
plenty already. Learn to experience joy where you are, and you'll
experience it in abundance.

Yes, it can be wonderfully exhilarating when life is moving quickly. But do
not move so quickly that speed becomes your only experience, for there is
so much more to enjoy.

The terrain of life is filled with wonderful and astounding detail. Slow
down and take in its richness...

Love Is Strange

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
and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I
wanted 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.

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 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.

Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick" she said;
he's not going to 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 smiled at me and stared at me
with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn'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 don't
want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know
why.

' Graduation Day 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
angel 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.

A Few Years Later Now I sit in the pews of the church. 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 don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm
just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral 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
