--We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything
That is on my mind--
Cameron and Nikki had started hanging out a lot. They were together all the time and quickly became the best of friends. They laughed about the way they met but Cameron never told her about the dreams that led up to their meeting. He didn't want to do anything that would weird her out. He didn't want their great friendship to end. His strong attraction to Nikki was the last thing he ever though about leaving them with a simple friendship.
--Lately something's changed
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
Softly says--
Cameron didn't think of Nikki as anything but his best friend. But one night while laying in bed after another day of hanging out with Nikki, he imagined her face and his stomach filled with butterflies. He didn't know why but something inside him was making him think things that he didn't understand. He feelings for her were changing. They were becoming stronger.
--Why don't you kiss her?
Why don't you tell her?
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide?
She'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside--
The next night he lay in bed thinking of ways to tell her how he felt. To be truthful, he didn't even know exactly how he was feeling but he knew he was falling for her. It was as if those feelings from that first day on the peer that he had forgotten were resurfacing. Every time he looked at her that day, he wanted to pull her towards him and hold her tight. He was too afraid to do this action. She didn't know how he felt but she needed to.
--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--
That morning they were sitting on the beach together. Nikki was watching the waves while Cameron watched her. He imagined himself confessing to her everything in his heart. Over and over he told her how he felt, sadly he only told her in his imagination.
--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--
He never imagined her reaction. He had no idea what she would think. He didn't want their friendship to end and maybe starting a relationship would simply ruin things. He would never know if he never spoke up.
Nikki noticed that his mind was somewhere else. "You okay Cam?"
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine. I was just thinking..."
--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--
That afternoon, they said goodbye to each other and Cameron walked home. He decided, that no matter what they were doing, the next time he saw her, he would tell her. He was going to ask her out.
--Why don't you kiss her...--
