"there's this guy..."

​there's this guy 

funny 

smart 

athletic 

shorter than me though 

i've known him awhile 

since third grade when i​ came to our small school 

we've been in the same class since 

​but only became friends in fifth 

then better in sixth

and even better in seventh

a year later he tells me everything

and i tell him most 

​i'm not sure if he likes me

everyone has been shipping us

​while we joke around
 

maybe we flirt

but it's kind of annoying because they don't understand

​that our friendship is enough for me

​because i will always cherish the memories

even after this year is over

​the memories of us laughing

making fun of each other

me being his wing man to help him pull this girl he likes

all of our inside jokes 

me finally getting a phone and the first person i give my number to is him​ (besides my family)

​him being my only guy friend allowed in my room

so i guess there's always been this guy 

at least since the third grade

​but we're best friends not lovers

i would trust him with my life

and only him
