Why Don't You Kiss Her?
We're The Best Of Friends
And We Share Our Secrets
She Knows Everything
That Is On My Mind
Lately Something's Changed
As I Lie Awake In My Bed
A Voice I Hear Inside My Head
Softly Says
Abigail and me have been like, best friends since, I don't know when. From like the first day of Pre-K. She shared her animal crackers with me, and I shared my juice and crayons with her. Best friends ever since.
She's always been like my sister. Nothing more, nothing less. Even Kevin and Nick and Frankie think of her as their sister. I've always looked out for her, like a big brother, and she's always done little sister stuff to me (she's 3 months younger than me).
The guys and me have been on tour a lot lately, and I've missed hanging out with Abby.
Yesterday I finally got to see her again. Something had changed though. Not about her, but about me.
Why Don't You Kiss Her?
Why Don't You Tell Her?
Why Don't You Let Her See
The Feelings That You Hide?
'Cause She'll Never Know
If You Never Show
The Way You Feel Inside
Now, whenever I see Abby, my heart beats faster, my hands start to sweat, and I can't look her in the eyes. I have no idea why I'm feeling this way. She's my best friend, not my, my girlfriend or something. No way. It's just not that way between us.
"Joe, you ok?" Abigail asked me. "Uh, yeah" I stuttered. We were sitting at a StarBucks together, drinking strawberry frapachinos. "Really. 'Cause you've been acting kinda weird ever since you came home. Something happen on tour?" Abby asked. "No, nothing. I just, I just forgot how much I missed this place, and you" I said. "I've missed you a lot too" she said. She had no idea how I felt. She was so calm. So easy-going.
Abby and I walked together to the old park we used to go to back when I lived in Jersey. Her blonde hair fell in her face, covering her sea-green eyes. "So how was touring?" she asked. "Fun. London was awesome. Now we get to go on the summer tour. It's going to be so hot" I said. "I bet. I mean, like the hottest boy band and Demi Lovato! So hot" she said. "I meant like temperature. It's in the summer, and they're all outside" I said. "Oh" she said. We both burst into laughter, and fell back onto the ground.
"I missed that" I said. "What? Laughing?" Abby asked. "Laughing with you" I said. I swam in her green eyes. I could stare into them for hours, and never get tired of them. I could never get tired of her.
Oh I'm So Afraid To Make That First Move
Just A Touch And We
Could Cross The Line
Every Time She's Near
I Wanna Never Let Her Go
Confess To Her What My Heart Knows
Hold Her Close
"Abby" I whispered. It was night time, and we were laying in her backyard, starring at the stars. "Joe" she whispered back. "Do you have a boyfriend?" I asked. Abby laughed. "No" She sighed. "Not anymore" she added quietly. "What happened?" I asked. "Oh, I dumped him. I think I found something better. But I don't know if he likes me back. I mean, I know he likes me, but I don't know if he likes me in the way I like him right now, ya know?" She said. "I know exactly what you mean" I replied. "So I hope I made the right choice" she sighed. "I hope you did too" I told her.

"JOE!" Abigail yelled at me as I pushed her into a puddle. "What's wrong? Abigail ain't as fast as she was a few months ago? Can't keep up with the old Joe Jonas?" I yelled. We were soaked. It was raining, and we were playing in the rain like we did when we were kids. "I'm gonna get you!" She yelled and jumped onto my back. I started to spin around causing her to laugh uncontrollably.
"ABBY! JOE!! LUNCH!" Abby's mom yelled from the door. "Few more minutes mom!" Abby yelled back. Her mom shook her head and went back into the house. A few more minutes could be hours.
Abby and I went back and forth, splashing eachother with water and pushing eachother into puddles. We finally took a break and plopped down into her front yard.
"That was fun" Abby said. "Yep" I agreed. We looked at eachother, and yet again burst into laughter. I fell back into the wet grass. Rain dropped onto my face. Abby fell back too, letting water hit her face.
I rolled over on my side to face her. "So" I said. She rolled onto her side. "So" she said. "Who'd you dump your bf for?" I asked. "This guy" she blushed. "What's his name?" I asked. I was so nosey. "Tell me one thing first" She demanded. "Ok" I replied. "Why don't you have a girlfriend?" she asked. I sighed. "Because I'm crushing on this other girl, and I don't know if I'm the one that she likes" I said. "What's her name?" she asked quietly. "That's two questions" I said. "Please Joe" she begged. "Her name is…" I said looking into her eyes. Instead of telling her Abigail, I didn't say anything. I just kissed her. Kissed her passionately. And know what? She kissed me back. And we sat there, in the rain. I finally kissed the girl of my dreams.
What Would You Say?
I Wonder Would She Just Turn Away
Or Would She Promise Me
That She's Here To Stay
It Hurts Me To Wait
I Keep Asking Myself
"Abby" I said. "Joe" she said back. We were laying on her couch, watching TV. I sat up. So did she. "Can I ask you something?" I asked. "Anything" she replied. I took her hand. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked her. It took her a minute to reply. "Yes. Of course I will" she said quietly. I smiled, and pulled her into a kiss. "I love you" I whispered. "I love you too" she whispered back, and kissed me again.
