How Could I Fall In Love With My Best Friend

[solo]

How did this happen?
I known him for awhile, but it seem like forever
I could talk to him about anything &
each time feel something new
He understands me & I figured him out the
first day we met
I was there to listen & he was my backbone
feeding me strength
How did this happen?
I wasn't suppose to feel like this
Not for him
He's in love with a another
& I'm with someone else
My crazy emotions did this to me
We have so much in common
Yet we can be so far apart
In the end we can still be one
How did I let my feelings get
the best of me
I feel as if I wanna cry
My world has just ended
& I can't take another step
When ever he is around my heart beats ten times faster
My mind running on ten thousand thoughts a minute
& they all start off with "WHAT IF"
I'm losing it
I'm going out of my mind
He is in my head and I want him to love me more
No this can be happening
How this happen and why now?
My new feelings may drive him away
I may lose the one person that gets me
That can under my skin within minutes
Knows what I'm thinking
How did this happen?
How could I fall in love with my best friend?

"I was there to listen & he was my backbone
feeding me strength"

I think that was really the best part right there.

"No this can be happening
How this happen and why now?"

On that first line did you mean 'this can't be happening'? And on the second you left out either the word did, or could, or any other word that would fit there, but those are the two I think of.

"That can under my skin within minutes"

And a 'get' there or a 'crawl'? Or slide... 'slide under my skin' works...

I get the idea of what you're saying here (I kinda know it a little well, so to say), but I don't think you did as well as you could have to describe it. With a little work it could be alright.

Try to watch your spelling/grammar ... there are a lot of missing letters (you have it as singular when it should be plural).

I agree with Brandie that this:

"I was there to listen & he was my backbone
feeding me strength"

--was definitely the meat of the poem.
