Just Another Friend [Her]

Friendzone... is so, if not the most, frustrating place you could ever be. It's usually the end of your unending hopes, expectations and what-ifs. It's the end but it doesn't mean it could really end what you already feel. You are already on that state of emotions. And you can't just go back that easily. To understand how is it to be in that kind of situation, let's try to know this girl who's in a friendzone she didn't choose to be in.

"Hi, Im just a girl. Well, maybe a woman already. I met this young boy who's full of energy and enthusiasm about life. He's just too colorful to ignore. We become friends and eventually, we got to know each other little by little. And I got to know that he's happily with someone. Don't get me wrong. I know my place. I know, I'm just his another friend."

Your smile, your look, I can't deny;
Your joke, your wit, those made me smile;
You're kind, you're sweet, I know I should stop;
This could lead me to liking you, just like that.

I know I'm fool to think like that;
I'm such a weakling to fall at my back;
Even if I didn't see any arms to catch;
I fooled myself that you're there with your hands.

On my fall, there were no arms anywhere;
But, you made me feel like yours is there;
You even acted like you've been ready;
To catch me if I fall, but no, i'm just being silly.

You were not there and will never be;
You love her I know and to break you, I don't mean;
I never wanted this thing, it just happened;
Stop torturing me with your acts, just end it.

Please end them for they make me feel special;
Stop acting sweet and kind like I am your gal;
Your actions speak way louder than your words;
Now you see, you can't blame the feelings I hold.

I know who I am in your life;
I'm just a girl you keep on your side;
Introduced as a friend with the feelings I hide;
You put me on that scene I don't like;

'Just Another Friend' you said, as you look into her eyes.

"I'm a flirt, a relationship wrecker, as you may call me. But I'm not as bad as you think I am. I know, it's not right for me to feel that way to someone who can never be mine. But... I'm a victim too... Victim of my own doing. I let myself fall for him. And most of all, I let him make me fall for him. This world is too unfair for people like me. It never listens to my story. As it says, I am not worth listening to. But I beg you to change that. I beg you, NOT to understand or tolerate people like me but to listen to my story. Just listen, and you'll see... I am in pain too."

Usually, we tend to look only at the side of the coin where we wanted to look. Usually, we miss the other side where the real story is. Where the real pain, sadness, depression, agony and guilt are. Sadly, this other side are those we usually judge and look down. But, this other side needs our open heart to listen to them instead... To make them feel they are way better than who they are now and they could move forward from where they are... To let them know, people also care for them and they deserve so much better... To share to them that there are still so much more in this life... And to tell them, we are all the same... not perfect but a struggling human being to be perfect.

This is a story of a friendzone from the side of hopelessness. A choice she didn't choose. A love she can't receive. Would you say she's wrong? #czary042017
