Dear Diary: 3/13/00

By: Lily Tchen

Everything that could be said has been said,
And everything that could be done has been done.
I hear his voice over the telephone
And I knew one day he would be the one.
He called me again to make sure I was okay
And he was truly as sweet as can be.
He said up until this very night,
He wasn't able to be himself around me.
Right now he feels he could tell me anything
And knows I'd try my best to understand.
Yet, he constantly says he doesn't deserve me,
Why doesn't he see in my heart where he stands?
And suddenly he stopped talking to me,
That's when I realized he had begun to cry.
I didn't know what to say or do,
The reason he was crying, I didn't know why.
All I wanted to do is sit beside him,
Kiss him and run my fingers through his hair.
I wish I could look straight into his eyes
And tell him, "I'll always be there."
At that moment was when I realized
I have never felt closer to him until now.
We've been together for only a month,
But my feelings just grew overnight somehow.
I know for sure I'm crazy about him
I can see myself with him for a long time.
Sometimes I feel as though I'm in love with him,
Sometimes I want to give him this heart of mine.
He promised he'd never make me cry again
Because it hurts him to see me cry.
At that moment, I secretly said to myself,
I am so thankful to find this perfect guy.
