| 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.
