After Matt asked me over 30 times
I finally gave in and agreed to go
I hated dances, especially if they weren't mine
But I said yes, so I'd have to show

I was not having fun at all
And we hadn't even left yet
We were taking pictures in the hall
When he walked in, someone I haven't met

He was Cory's date for the night
I just looked at him and smiled
Time for their pictures, so I stepped to the right
Before they left we agreed to meet up in a while

It was now time to get ready to go
I slipped on my shoes and waited
We sat in the back while Matt's mom drove
The whole way there I hoped I wouldn't hate it

The four of us stood around for a while
Then Matt asked me to dance
When I looked over at Cory's date he smiled
All the while, Matt looked like he was in a trance

Matt ran off to dance with a cheerleading chick
Cory started dancing with some short kid
Leaving her date with me was the wrong choice to pick
I still can't believe I did what I did

I asked him his name
Jamie was his response
He asked me the same
And we hit if off at once

When a slow song came on
I put my arms around him and began to move
My feet felt as if they weighed a ton
But then Jamie fell in to the groove

We danced a little while longer
While we'd chat
Cory came back over
And pushed me over to Matt

I laughed and danced one more time with him
After the song was over
He was back with other friends

The last dance of the night
I danced with Jamie
He and I got along alright
There was no describing the feeling he gave me

The song was from 98� called I Do
When it was over we all walked outside
I said "It was nice meeting you."
He smiled and I quietly sighed

Two days later I gave Matt a call
I asked him for Jamie's number
He said he didn't know it at all

He looked it up on his caller I.D.
I wrote it down and quickly thanked him
After he said, "You owe me."

It took me a while to dial his number
Hoping he didn't think I was crazy
As I waited on hold my heart felt like thumper

We've been friends for almost 3 years now
We've argued about little things
From aliens and vampires, to Tinky Winky and my baby cow

I've often thought how it would be
If he and I ever got together
But now I guess I'll never see
At least I know we'll be friends forever

When I thought I couldn't trust guys
Because of what happened with my "so called" ex-best male friend
It's guys like him that I despise
But Jamie proved me wrong in the end

He showed me that there are more than one nice guy
One's that can be friends forever
And one's to be with for your whole life

When I told him that I had a boyfriend
He assured me that he'd never try anything
That our relationship would be strictly friends

He told me that he respected the fact that I was with someone
And he wouldn't try to change my mind
Or tell me that he's not the one
Jamie's like that, always true and kinda

He is the best guy friend that I'll ever have
I hope it stays like this
I never want to lose contact

So, Jamie- I hope that you realize
Just how much you really mean to me
How much I want you in my life
And how strong our friendship is or could be.

Thank You.
