A Guy

I've known you since I was 9 and you were 11.
We always admired each other from afar.
That all changed one day in the summer of 2008.
When you told me how you have felt about me,
Then in return I told you how I have felt since that faithful day we met almost 7 years ago.
All throughout our childhood we acted like we hated each other.
Behind each others backs though we defended each other to no end.
You beat up guys that teased me.
And I stopped rumors about you.
Whenever I went outside I had to look cute in case you were watching.
You always made it a point to start a fight with me whenever you saw me outside.
But I did the same.
Then a few months ago we revealed our dirty little secrets to each other.
Ever since then we've become friends.
It's nice to be able to talk to you as a friend instead of sitting around waiting for us to become more than secret admirers.
One day we'll move past being just friends.
And when that day comes we'll both be sure of how we feel.
But for now we'll just sit back idly and wait for that day to come.
