Why are you stickin wit her When you know you love me for sure Why do you treat her like a queen And like you've never seen my face Do you ever wanna see me again Do you even wanna be my friend Do you even wanna see my face The way you did back in state Do you even wanna be my man The way you know we've always planned Do you wanna see my face or act like there was never a trace Do you wanna be the one I want Cuz you know my love for you still haunts me The question is 'Do you' The answer is still a mystery to me Are ever gonna tell me the truth Before we get old and use all our youth Are we ever gonna Be Together Or are we just gonna keep pretending Forever Are you gonna be at any time in life a part me Stop being a mystery Cuz you know that You love me This is gonna be a hard one to solve When I’m with you My heart dissolves This why you should Tell me To stop being a... mystery Written by Shannon Crespin Submitted by Shannon Crespin

I know we're best friends And I wanna be til the end But I wanna be the girl That you cannot offend When we talk on the phone Or whenever we're alone You treat me like a queen But around your friends You act like I'm a face You've never seen What should I do? How should I feel? Do you like me or Love me for real? Do you wanna see my face Or act like there was Never a trace Are you my friend At the least Or do you just be with the guys So I can get teased I know you have feelings Deep inside But your afraid that Your friends Will take away your pride You know I love you And that I'll always stay true But if you continue this way I'm gonna have to say We're through I know we werent together And you made me feel As light a feather But you fill me with hurt You treat me like dirt When your friends are around You practically beat me in the ground What Should I Do? Should I tell him I love you? Should I tell him we're through? Do you know what to Do? Written by Shannon Crespin Submitted by Shannon Crespin

Love is honesty Honesty is truth Truth is being able to tell Who you can trust in life Life is what you live for It's why you wake up in the morning saying I love someone and I know They love me back Love is the magic in this world that you cannot trust This world is full of backstabbers Liars deceivers people who just wanna hurt you people who you cannot trust with a secret let alone your life Love is full of trust and honesty and there are the people worth living for They are the people you can trust with your heart and soul Love Life They go hand in hand Never let either one go They are the dearest things you have.

#sorry

You look into his eyes You look up at the moon Everything feels right You hold him close On a warm summer's night You look into his eyes once again And what comes to your mind You don't wanna be Just his friend You want his love His Kiss His Touch Tell Him C'mon you don't really Want Much You love Him And you wonder Does he care You hope he does Your lives you want to share You look across the way You see a couple That just don't know what to say You see them push each other away A hard shove You think I don't want that I want True Love.

Here’s the 2nd part to my story. Well turns out Daniel and me started talking again and now we’re best friends! Sounds great doesn’t it? He’s been so great to me and he would make up rhymes just for me and all kinds of things.Him and I have been tight and now because of me Chris and Daniel are also best friends. The good thing about Daniel is that he would always make me laugh and whenever I was sad or in tears He would make me happy and laughing in a matter of seconds! He was so awesome! I was still so in love with him! Then for some reason we stopped talking for like a month! Then after a while I thought to myself, “I don’t need him in my life”, but I was only lying to myself. I couldn’t live without him. I had loved him too much and for too long to stop loving him now. I wanted him back but for some reason I felt like I had no power over the situation. Then finally we started calling each other again and we filled each other in on our lives and so on. We were back to being friends and telling each other all of our secrets, and I mean all of our secrets, but we promised not to tell anyone. Daniel and me have always been trying to get each other jealous and I don’t know about him but it’s working on me big time! Like now he has a girlfriend named Melissa in 6th grade! She’s young! I can also tell when he gets jealous cause not too long ago I went out with this guy named Raymond who was close with Daniel and I asked Daniel, ”Why do you think Raymond asked me out?” “Maybe it’s cause you’re a sexy beast!” I felt so good after he told me that! But now unfortunately I’m single again and hey even if me and Daniel just stay best friends (for now) then hey, there’s a lot of fish in the sea right?! And also what was cool was that I went to my friend Danica’s p*ol party and she’s in the 8th grade and she invited Daniel and when he got there it was just me, Danica, and Leandra, and he showed up with Chris and they gave everyone hugs then Daniel gave me a hug! Then that night whenever I was talking to Daniel he would keep looking at my body cause all I wore after I swam was my swimsuit top and jeans and he would just keep looking at my body! Yet surprisingly I liked it! Then he was playing Ms. Pacman on one of the big machines and I would just stay there watching him and he was really good! Then after a while he left from playing it and I started to play and I knew I was about to lose then out of no where Daniel came and grabbed my hand and helped me and I thought he was gonna try and mess me up cause he likes to mess around like that so I said,” Don’t mess me up Daniel!” Then after he stayed quiet after I told him that, I realized he was helping me! Then he helped me beat the level and he just looked at me with his eyes like, ”Your welcome.” Isn’t he great? Ok giving me hugs, telling me I’m sexy, looking at my body, grabbing my hand, helping me out, and most importantly… being my best friend, don’t you think it adds up? I think so! I mean why would he do any of that if he didn’t like me right?! He says he doesn’t but I read a horoscope matchmaker for him and me and it said, “He loves the chase but you want a boyfriend. Try settling him down.” It all adds up, he must like me. And let’s not forget state now! Oh ya and he said I could go with him to this Halloween Hip-Hop Bash with him, his friend T.J. and his girlfriend and I said I’d think about it. I really wanna go though! I’m getting all this from him and you know what I’m missing… his KISS. I would literally give the world for him and his kiss! My body felt a shock with his touch and I’d probably feel lightning with his KISS! Now I want him more than ever but I don’t know how to get him and not to be mean but his girlfriend isn’t right for him. I just don’t know what to do. Can you help me out and give me some advice? Please, it would mean the world to me. Thanks for listening. Written by Shannon Crespin Submitted by Shannon Crespin

Ok here's my story. One day I was in class preparing for a State Competition for this club. I'm in called BPA and this guy who I had never thought about liking walked in and there were no spaces open for him to work so our teacher told him to work with me since we were in the same category. Then instead of working we just started talking and stuff and we gave each other our numbers and we pretty much hung out for the rest of the day.Then I tested him and he called me and told me he would call me later on that night, which he never did. So the next day in class he came up to me and said he was sorry he never called me back. I forgave him and we hung out again. Then that night I realized something. I was falling in love with him! Then before I knew it, state was here. We took a 2 hour drive to Alberquerque and we got settled in the Mariot hotel. We had our first competition that day and I did horrible but it was ok because I told him I did bad and we talked on the phone all night in our rooms and he comforted me. The next day I didn't compete and neither did he, but we couldn't see each other because our teacher made us stay in our rooms until everyone else got back from their competition. So me and my friend Mikala just stayed bored. Then that night we went to the mall and we had to be in groups of 3 or 4 so me and Mikala hung out with her BF Chris and Daniel (the guy I've been talking about) hung out with Chris so we were all together. Me and Mikala wanted to go into Claires and the guys didn't want to so they went to another store and before they left, Daniel put his arm around me and said, "If something bad happens to you, scream at the top of your lungs and I'll come for you." I nodded my head and we walked around Claires when the guys came and practically dragged us out of their. We continued around the mall until it was time to leave and then we went to the movies and we saw Date Movie which was funny but I would suggest you be at least 13 before you see it. We didn't hang out at the movies but that's ok. The next day we had awards ceremonies but I'm not going to get into that, it'll take way too long. So we were packing everything up to go home and we were on the bus when our teacher surprised us and took us to a place called Hinkles Family Fun Center which is pretty cool because it has mini-golf, an arcade, bumper cars, wall climbing, a food place, and this huge jungle gym. Me, Daniel, Mikala, and Chris hung out again and we all went in the jungle gym except for Mikala, she's not that kind of person. Then we got to the end of the jungle gym and I was the last one to slide across and down on this bar and when I let go Daniel caught me! Then we went into the arcade where Daniel beat my butt bad in Air Hockey and then he played this one game and he hit the jackpot five times! He spent all of it on super ropes and this crystal ball with a dragon and a wizard. Then we were on the bus again heading home when Daniel and Chris started watching Chris Rock DVD Daniel had bought at the mall. Daniel asked us if we wanted to watch and we were like you, duh. Then Daniel got between me and Mikala when Mikala left us alone and we sat their watching the movie and laughing together. There were some parts of the movie where Daniel would imitate Chris Rock and he would make me laugh so hard. Then (since Chris was like my BFF at State and he knows me and Daniel's whole story) I told him I was going to purposely fall asleep on Daniel's shoulder when the DVD player ran out of batteries! I was mad, but ok. Then shortly after that we arrived home and that night my dad was in our garage and my mom was on my computer in my room drinking and I was on the couch in the living when I was bored so I called Daniel around 8:00 that night and we stayed talking when he asked me, "Do you like me, if you do that's ok with me and I won't tell anybody." I was panicked so I said no. Then a little more into the conversation I said, "Daniel I have to be honest with you, I never did like you then when we started hanging out, started being friends I kind of started to like you." Then he said, "Yes, that's how it is with me too. Hey can I call you back in about five seconds, just hang up and your phone will ring ok." I said ok, then waited when my phone rang and I said, "What were you doing?" He said, "I broke up with my girlfriend." Then I said, "Did she take it hard?" "Not really," he said back. I kept thinking to myself that he should ask me out but he never did. "Well I'll call you tomorrow ok, I have to go to sleep it's already 9:30." "Ok" I said. Then the next day around 7:30 Daniel called me and asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with him. I said no because I was throwing a party for my 23 year old brother who just got his trucking license. Then I called my friend Brittany and asked her if she wanted to go to the movies (since I'm not allowed to date yet). She said she could so I called Daniel back and asked what time the movie was and he said never mind because he couldn't go. The next day at school he didn't even talk to me, he hasn't talked to me at all ever since that night and if you know it's good for you take a chance to ask that special person out when the time is right. Don't do what I did and wait too long or else you could end up like me and Daniel, the two people who had a strong relationship but let it go. Please take my advice, it can help you someday. I really miss Daniel but I don't think he likes me anymore, and what s*cks is that he's all I can think about. I can't get over him at all. I want him back even though I never really had him.
