	You Don't Know Me

You don't know me

Disclaimer: I don't own anybody from Queer as Folk. However, I love the show and the pairing of Brian/Michael. I also don't own this song; it was written by Eddy Arnold and Cindy Walker and has been performed by many talented artists. My favorite version is done by Michael Buble, and it was his version that inspired this fic. Now that I've said all that, I hope you enjoy this story and remember: a well-reviewed story makes a happy author.

_You give your hand to me, and then you say hello_

_And I can hardly speak; my heart is beating so_

_And anyone can tell, you think you know me well_

_Well, you don't know me_

That's how it's always been, you know? Every time I see you, it's like I've got a stomach full of butterflies. I can totally play it off most of the time, but sometimes I still get flustered, even though we've been best friends since forever. And even though I don't say anything about it, I think you're the only person who doesn't realize it.

_No you don't know the one, who dreams of you at night_

_And longs to kiss your lips, and longs to hold you tight_

_Oh, I'm just a friend, that's all I've ever been_

_'Cause you don't know me_

Sometimes I just want to grab you and kiss you and tell you how much I love you, that all I want to do is spend the rest of my life with you and make you happy. But I don't. I just stay in the background as the ever loyal best friend and amusing but lovable nerd; Michael Novotny, biggest coward of all time.

_For I never knew the art of making love_

_Though my heart aches with love for you_

_Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by_

_A chance that you might love me too_

Yeah, when it comes down to it, that's what I am: a coward. I mean, I have thought about what it would be like to tell you the truth. There are nights where I spend hours playing the scene over and over in my head. But no matter what fairy tale endings I conjure in my mind, my heart knows better. I've always been your best friend, and I'll never be anything more than that to you, no matter how close we are. So I stand by and watch you go back to Justin, who has somehow managed to capture your heart in the way I always wanted to but never could.

_You give your hand to me, and then you say goodbye_

_I watch you walk away, beside the lucky guy_

_Oh, you'll never know, the one who loves you so_

_Well, you don't know me_

You kiss my forehead and walk away with him, and I realize that, no matter how well you know me, the truest part of my heart will always be hidden from you.
