"If you tell her-"

"I know…" you tell me.

"Are you sure though…"

I turn to you. I look in your eyes.

You look at me weirdly.

"Are you sure you know what I was going to say? What she will?"

I know what you're thinking.

'She'll just reject me…Like all the others…'

"You're wrong…"

"What?"

I put my hands on your shoulders

"My friend, you are strong, brave, smart…Okay I take that last one back…"

You look at me like you're saying,

'This isn't the time…'

"What that meant was…you can't see what is right in front of your face."

"Huh?"

"My advice never fails…Okay eating ramen with ice cream was a bad idea, but it seemed okay!"

You cheer up for a minute, than a sad feeling takes over you.

It's a feeling I rarely see in you anymore.

The only times are when you think of asking her out.

You lose all the confidence you had.

"Never lose confidence..."

"But what if sh"-"Because that's what she loves the best in you…"

"…Wh-what?" "I thought she was the one to stutter."

"She…"

"I didn't want to tell you…It be better from her, but you are such an idiot sometimes."

"It's"-

"True."

I walk away.

"If you tell her…"

I wait for an interruption that never comes.

"She'll love you just the same."
