As I sat there in English class,I started at the girl next to me .She was my so called"Best friend",I started at her long,silky hair,and wished she was mine.But she didn't notice me like that,and I knew it.

英语课上，我默默注视着邻座的女生，我所谓的“好朋友”。看着她长长的秀发，多希望她是属于我的。但她不知道我内心的想法，这点我很清楚。

After class,she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and I handed them to her.She said"Thanks "and gave me a kiss on the cheek.I want to tell her,I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends,I love her but I am just too shy,and Idon't know why.

课后，她向我走来，找我借昨天的笔记，因为她昨天没来上课，拿到笔记后，她谢谢我，并在我脸上轻轻一吻。我想告诉她，想让她知道，我不想只是朋友，我爱她，只是我太害羞，我不明白为什么。

电话铃响。是她打来的，她哭泣着，诉说着她爱情破裂了，心也碎了。她希望我能过去陪她，因为她害怕孤单一人。我过去了，我们一起坐在沙发上。看着她温柔的双眸，我希望她是属于我的。两小时后，看了一部德鲁·巴里摩尔的电影、吃掉了3袋炸土豆条后，她决定上床休息。

She looked at me ,said"thanks"and gave me a kiss on the check.I want to tell her,I want her to know that I don't to be just friends,I love her but I am just tooshy,and I don't know why.

毕业舞会前，她来到我的橱柜前，告诉我：“我的舞伴病了”；舞会前他无法恢复，而我也没有舞伴，7年级时我们曾约定，如果毕业舞会时我们都没有舞伴，我们要一起去，只是以“好朋友”的身份，现在情况真如我们所约定的。毕业舞会那晚，一切结束后，站在她的房间前门槛处，我们双目对视，她用她充满笑意的、清澈的双眸望着我。我希望她是我的，但她不是这么想的，这点我很清楚。她告诉我，她很开心，谢谢我，并在我脸上轻轻一吻。我想告诉她，想让她知道，我希望不只是朋友，我爱她，只是我太害羞，我不明白为什么。

我坐在教堂里，女孩今天结婚，看着她对另一个男人说“我愿意”，开始他们的新生活。我希望她是我的，但她不知道我内心的想法，这点我很清楚。开车离开之前，她走向我，说：“你来

了啊！”她谢谢我，并在我脸上轻轻一吻。我想告诉她，让她知道，我希望不只是朋友，我爱她，只是我太害羞，我不明白为什么。

Funeral

丧礼

Years passed,I looked down at the coffin⁵ of a girl who used to be my"best friend",At the service ,they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years.This is what it read.I stare at him wishing he was mine,but he doesn't notice me like that,and I know it,I want to tell him,I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends,I love him just too shy,and I don't why .I wish he would tell me he loved me!

多年以后，我看着棺材里躺着的曾经是我“好朋友”的女孩。丧礼上，他们念到一篇她中学时代写的一篇日记，日记如是说：“注视着他，我希望他是属于我的，但他不知道我内心的想法，这点我很清楚。我想告诉他，想让他知道，我希望不只是朋友，我爱他，只是我太害羞，我不明白为什么。我希望他能告诉我他是爱我的。”

I wish I did too,I thought to myself,and I cried.

我也希望我告诉过她……这样想着，我不禁潸然泪下。
