Why I Can't Kiss Her

---

We're the best of friends

And we share our secrets

She knows everything that is on my mind

But lately something's changed

As I lie awake in my bed

A voice here inside my head

Softly says

"Do you want to know why?" Phil asked, frustrated. "Do you want to know why I can't kiss her?"

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

Via nodded furiously. "Yeah, I'd most certainly love an explanation. Because I can't understand why you can't just do it, you know? You guys have been best friends for, what, four years? High school's almost over, Phil. You don't have that long! List the reasons, and I'll slice every one of them to pieces."

Oh I'm so afraid to make that first move

Just a touch and we

Could cross the line

And every time she's near

I wanna never let her go

Confess to her what my heart knows

Hold her close

"One – because there's a very high probability my family will leave."

"Please, Phil," Via scoffed. "Your father still hasn't fixed the time machine. It's been four years. Face it. It's not happening."

"I still can't believe I told you."

"You needed my advice," Via justified.

"Anyway," Phil continued. "Two. I don't want to ruin…"

"…what you already have," Via finished for him. "Oh, puh-lease, Phil. Even you should know better than that. How daft can you possibly be? Everyone says that. I bet even Simba said that about Nala. Hit me with number three."

"Alright, three," Phil conceded. "I feel like if… if… if, for example, I told her how I felt, I would be so overprotective. I don't know, it sounds stupid, but if another guy even looked at her, I feel like I'd be at his throat with a razor sharp knife at the ready. And if anyone hurt her in any way, well, I would bypass that 'at the ready thing' and he'd already be dead."

"That's just stupid," Via laughed. "Of course you'd be like that. That's what boyfriends do; they protect their girlfriends."

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

"So far, you've given me," Via counted on her fingers, "three excruciatingly lame reasons as to why you won't kiss her. I can give you one definite one."

"Gimme!" Phil exclaimed.

"You're afraid," she offered. "So scared of what'll happen."

What would she 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

Phil nodded. "You're right."

"You sound so surprised," Via scolded with a punch to Phil's bicep.

"Alright, let's outline the fear. I'm so scared she won't feel the same way about me."

"Trust me," Via nodded, "she feels the same way."

"Okay, that's good. Also… what if someone 'better' comes along, huh? Will I be up a creek without a Keely?"

Via chuckled. "Yeah, right, Phil. She loves you too, you know."

"But can she promise?" Phil asked, and Via nodded.

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

Via nodded. "I think we've defeated every possible reason why you won't kiss her. I can't find a single one that explains why you can't kiss her."

Phil sighed, beaten. "I guess you're right."

"Hey, be happy," Via implored. "You're about to tell the girl of your dreams that you love her."

Why don't you kiss her (tell her you love her)

Why don't you tell her (tell her you need 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

The next day, Phil saw Keely. And he walked up to her.

"Hey Phi…"

She was cut off by a long kiss thanks to her best friend. When they broke, she hugged him. "I love you, Phil," she whispered in his ear.

Why don't you kiss her?

A/N again: kinda lame. That's okay.
