Looking Back (Part I)

I once was told
"She'll hit you like a brick."
I once thought this was a lie.
I once thought that it would never happen to me.
But then, on that day,
you found me standing there,
dumbly in class.
Our eyes met and I looked away.
I now regret that.
An hour passed and I had fallen for you,
heart, mind, body, and soul.
How could I tell you?
I couldn't.
As the days dragged by,
my heart was drying out.
I was drowning.
I couldn't talk to you,
couldn't tell you how I felt,
how I couldn't help but glance at you from afar.
I admired, no,
I loved, everything about you.
Every step I took,
I felt like I was walking to my grave.
I tried many a times to tell you,
to tell you how I felt,
to let you know that I had fallen,
and I couldn't get up.
Slowly,
we became friends.
But I couldn't just be friends.
I wanted more.
But, again,
I couldn't.
I tried, I tried not once,
but twelve times.
Twelve times to ask you out.
To let you know how I was dying without you.
But I couldn't.
A year later, you managed to do what I couldn't.
