I was brave that day. I had been silent for 5 years. I finally got the courage to tell you and when I asked how you felt about me what did you say? "I don't know..." Do you know what that does to someone? I waited and waited for you to say something, anything other than, "I don't know." Seven years have now past and I still think about those three words you said to me. You say you don't know; but I remember how you would look at me when we passed one another in the hallways. I remember the way you smiled at me when we had that staring contest. There was something and I think you knew it too. Maybe things would have been different had you said something other than, "I don't know." The sad thing is I wasn't expecting you to like me back. I just wanted an answer from you and had that answer been no, I honestly believe I would've been okay even though now I realize I may have been in love with you.
