As summer quickly disappears,
I dread the day when you will go.
We've been amigos all these years,
yet you've no clue I love you so.

To you I'm just your best friend's sis,
one of the guys, that "ditsy" gal
you always tease and love to dis,
your brownie baker, pizza pal.

You're college-bound, I'm stuck right here.
I can't compete with cute coeds,
soror'ty girls you'll meet this year,
the many lovely undergrads.

A moonless night with one bright star
we cooked s'mores and sang off key.
While strumming on that old guitar,
you broke a string and grinned at me.

I knew it then I'd lost my heart,
but my sad whimper went unheard.
Because we'll be so far apart,
I've stifled love, said not one word.
