The Right Thing
She looks into his eyes.
Looks for something to say,
But her mind goes blank.
Every time she looks into his eyes,
She loses focus.
She loves him.
No. She's in love with him.
But he has someone else.
Someone in his heart already.
She's jealous of that girl.
She wishes she could be her.
Every time she sees them kiss,
Her heart skips a beat.
She wants his love.
She wants his heart.
She wants...him.
She wants his attention.
All of it.
And one day, she gets what she wants.
She walks into a room and finds him alone,
Just sitting there on the ground.
They talk for a while,
And after that, he starts to like her.
He grabs her hand and brings it close to his face.
Then his lips touch her hand.
Those soft, beautiful lips of his.
He looks up and their eyes meet.
Her heart skips a beat.
He brings his face close to hers.
She can't help it,
But she knows it's wrong.
He has a girlfriend.
But it's not just any girlfriend.
No.
It's her best friend.
She just can't do that to a friend.
She thinks about that day a lot.
Should she have kissed him?
She wonders about it almost every day.
Deep down, she knows that she did the right thing,
She just has to keep reminding herself
Every time she thinks of him or sees him.
