This has been an idea for a LONG time, so I finally gave it life and I'm proud of it. Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m the back-up friend The girl who tries to find the friend she sees in movies The One And she does, but The One always has The First The other friend who came along in the very beginning The First is the one with the inside jokes, the stories The easy talker, the comfort friend When The First is around I’m invisible The One only sees me when I’m the only one around I’m the friend who falls behind on a two person sidewalk The third wheel The second best The one who can disappear But no one will ask me, “Where did you go?” I get used to being invisible To not knowing, to not speaking What is there to say anymore? I’m the backup The girl who waits The girl who listens The girl who disappears The girl who will be here again tomorrow, invisible What if I screamed at you? Just to turn heads, to see what you’d do What if I walked away? But this time, I didn’t wait for anyone to notice Because I can reach out for a hand But no one will grab mine And I drown in your laughter Laughter not meant for me One day, I’ll leave I’ll walk away and I won’t come back Will you finally notice me? Will you care? Will you remember me? Will it matter? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
