Brent...

Dear Brent,

	We are just friends.  That's all you see when you look in my eyes.  A friend. 
 But when i look in your eyes i see everything i want.  When i walk by your side, 
i only want to grab you and kiss you.  All of those little "annoying" things you 
do make me melt. Like last night when you couldn't sit down, i couldn't take my
eyes of you.  And when we shared dessert, i imagined it just us there, alone,
because that's what i wanted.  Just you. When you wait for me after class, i 
can't stop smiling, you brighten my day, and i can't stand not being with you.
I remember at the retreit, when we hugged, i didn't want to let go.  Like that
song, "From the moment that i saw your face, and felt the fire in your sweet 
embrace, that's when i knew i'm gonna love you forever, forever."  That 
song makes me smile, then it makes me cry.  Why is it so hard.  Why can't you
see how i feel, why do i have to hid it from you, and stacey.  When ever she
calls me and talks about you, i put the phone down, i can't bare to hear what you
two had, cause i want it so bad for myself.  When you said last night that you 
and stacey aren't friends, i thought i could be so happy.  With her gone i 
thought nothing could stop us.  But still, i don't know how you feel.  I'm 
afraid to know.  Cause if i tell you how i feel, and you don't feel the same,
 i know i'd loose you.  Brent i need you.  I'm trying to find a balance of friends 
with you.  A place where i can be safe from you knowing how i feel, and close 
enough that i can be near you.  But it's so hard. I just wanted to hold you
 all last night, and the closest i got was when i was pushing you away. I just , 
i want to be with you so much that all the words in the world can describe it.  
Nothing compares to you, not beauty, not love, not perfection, your above
 them all and i can't cantroll how i feel. I'm afraid to let you know, i
 can't let you know, because i'm so scared, i need you with me. All those
 love songs, i feel like they always aply to you.                                  
                                   You're just too good to be true
									Can't take my eyes off you.
                             You'd be like heaven to touch. I wanna
                             hold you so much. At long last love has 
                             arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're
                              just too good to be true. Can't take my
                                         eyes off you.

                           Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing 
                          else to compare. The sight of you leaves me 
                             weak. There are no words left to speak.
                           But if you feel like I feel. Please let me know
                           that it's real. You're just too good to be true.
                                   Can't take my eyes off you.

                             I need you baby, and if it's quite all right,
                          I need you baby to warm a lonely night. I love
                           you baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty 
                           baby, don't bring me down I pray. Oh pretty
                           baby, now that I found you, stay. And let me 
                           love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....

I don't know what to say.   I guess things are not always fare. But now you know.
