I wrote this for my best friend Sean.  We were very close and somehow we drifted apart.  I never got the chance to tell him how I felt, I guess maybe I was scared of what might happen, especially with our friendship.  He is now in the Marines and I realized that I need to tell him how I felt, hopefully our friendship is strong enough for whatever happens.

                     WHAT I DIDN'T SAY

WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME GOOD TIMES, NOT TO MENTION THE BAD, AND FOR SOME REASON DURING THOSE YEARS I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH I DEELY CARED.


WE SPENT ALL THOSE HOT SUMMER DAYS TOGETHER, AND MY FEELINGS GREW AND GREW.  YOU NEVER KNEW HOW DEEP MY FEELINGS WERE.  I TRIED TO SHOW YOU AND I DON'T THINK YOU GOT ONE CLUE...

     NOW I MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT TILL SWEET NOVEMBER WHEN YOU RETURN AND EVEN THEN I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TELL YOU MY DEEPEST FEELINGS AS I AM SO AFRAID OF WHAT YOU'LL SAY.

JUST PLEASE PROMISE ME ONE THING, THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE ALWAYS REMAIN FRIENDS.

This is a wonderful expression of longing. I wish you the best!
