How long?
How long do I
Have to sit here
and watch you move
from girl to girl?
And why
Am I never one of
Those girls?
I sit here
As you tell me
The sad break up
Stories of each girl.
Your best friend,
And never anything more.
How long will it take
For you to notice
How I long for your lips?
How long till you notice
That your eyes
Enchant me?
Till you Love me
as much as
I Love You.

omg i have the same situation. and i think every girl who is bffs w/a boy will someday want to move on from friends to soemthing more. It's just kind of sad that it rarely works out the way it should. The only advice i can give is: don't make my mistake. Tell him how you feel! I already let him slip away... don't let it be too late for you!
