So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters.
"Nothing Else Matters"-Metallica



Have you ever loved someone so much, that you would give anything, and everything just to be with them? That's how I feel about my best friend Kari. No matter how much I love her, she can never know, not now that she's getting married today . Now I'm worried, worried about being forgotten by the only one who matters to me. We're not in school any more so we don't see each other as often. She doesn't love me like I love her, We're just friends, but now she's getting married. She'll have a husband who I'm sure will come before any guy friend she has, I'm sure of it.
A woman walks out of the room where Kari is getting ready. Softly I knock on the door."Come in" she replies. Slowly I open the door, there she is. I'm almost rendered speechless by her beauty."Wow," I manage to say "You look gorgeous", She blushes a little. I walk to a chair across the room and sit down, "TK, I'm really nervous," she suddenly says. I look over at her, so badly I want to tell her how I feel, but I can't. Not now, today is her day to be happy, forever, even if it means I have to be miserable for the rest of my life. I wonder what she's thinking, when all of the sudden I blurt out the first thing that comes to mind, "Kari, you won't forget me, will you?" she walks over to me, and takes my hand." TK your my best friend, you've been with me through more than anyone ever has, and your still here now, I could never forget you" then she kisses my cheek. Blushing, I leave the room.
Now here I am, looking at Kari as she takes her vows, She looks so damn beautiful. Even though I completely understand that I can never be with the one I love, I know she won't forget me. I smile , I know that now she's happy, and her being happy makes me happy, and nothing else matters. She has a husband, and will never care for me like I do for her, but I still love her just the same, and I always will.
