Hi, I'm Liza or Liz for friends. Have you ever taken for granted something wonderful that's right under your nose? Or someone? This happens! But let me tell you fromthe beginning. These are my best friends. Jerry, my classmate and childhood friend. We got into a lot of trouble together, and started being friends when we lived next door. And this is Tif, my friend from school. We often hand out at my place after class. We're very close, but unfortunately, Jerry and Tif dont' really get along. I'd say, when I'm not there, they drift apart. This was not okay with me! Maybe they felt uncomfortable around each other? Didn't like each other? I thought I should findout.
I met Jerry and asked what he thought about Tif. I told him how I saw that he was uncomfortable around ber. At first he was silent, then quietly confessed that he was in love with her. The conversation was calmer after that. I was shocked! Turned out, he'd been in love with Tif for a ling time and I hadn't evennoticed. And he didn't even know how to give her a hint. He couldn't, of course just tell her. I suggested signs of affection. A couple of cute presents and trifles. Maybe, flowers? impress her with osmething. She'd get the idea in a week.
Jerry said he'd got it and started on it, but in a weird way. Not knowing what was Tif's fave flower he brought her a cactus "because everyone likes them". Tif left it in a flower corner of teh classroom. When he brought sweets, all girls were all over him, except for Tif, who was constantly dieting. And when he decided to impress her with his ball skills in phys ed, he stumbled and fell, to everyone's loud amusement.
By the end of the week I realized that I was actually glad Jerry was failing so miserably to hit on TIff. I'm not the one to gloat, didn't know what'd gotten into me. I thought I should cheer Jerry up. I suggested he'd write a letter to Tiff. Preferavbly, a poem. My Don Juan friend like the idea. However, he was real bad at poetry. Only his choice of romantic flowers was worse. His verses were terrible. Hey, Jerry is my friends, I can tell him he sucks at poetry.
I had to take it in my own hands. Poetry is just wrapping. The feeling is the candy. I was sure if we put how much he cared for Tif and how awesome he found her, in, she'd appreciated it no matter the form. It was easier than I imagined. The lines appeared in my head one after another when I thought about TIf. I thought how this girl could make any hear beat faster.
She was beautiful, femminine, she was kind to others which was an amazing thing about her. When my dog Ralph died last year, she was there for me, a classmate crying on her shoulder. Sometimes I think only she knows the real me. It took me an evening to write a poem for TIf where I put all my feelings. They were mine, they were sincere. Maybe I should give her this letter myself? Signed by me? Waaait.... It looked like I was going to confess something more than friendship. But I promised to Jerry...
Jerry and I decided to split the poem and send it to Tif in parts over several days, leaving the signed one for the last. At school Tif and I sat together so it wasn't hard to slip the poem parts into her school bag. It all went well! Tiff looked happier, although she didn't share anything with me. Perhaps it was something too personal, something she wouldn't even share with a friend. Would she reciprocate Jerry's feelings? I wanted the pot to touch her soul, but at the same moment, I wanted her to say no to Jerry. I was confused... Which side was I on?
Jarry and I agreed I'd give the last part to TIf personally. And talk to her if I had to.So, the day had come. I invited TIf over under the pretense of doing homework together. I waited for her, fingering the last piece in my hands. And I felt such heartache. What if Tif and Jerry really got together? They'd be inseparable and I'd become a third wheel. I was sad. I didn't want to imagine a life without TIf in it. My Tif...
