Ha, talk about reverse phsycology.  Well now that you are here, might as well read my wonderful poem

This poem is written from my personal experience with my friends...

I’d never do that to him.

I feel so alone, I feel like I’m going to burst.
I feel like I’m always left out, I feel like I’m always the worst.
Why must I fail every time, why must I be in the cold.
Why must I be the only one, who has no hand to hold.

I knew it was going to happen, sooner or later it would be.
All my friends would have a girl, every last one…but me.
The friend I depended on, is no longer there.
He no longer calls me, he no longer cares.

We always went out, every lonely weekend night.
We always suck together, and talked when things weren’t right.
But now he has her, and doesn’t need me.
He just shut the door, closed his eyes and can’t see.

He can’t see my pain, he can’t see my tears.
All the time we spent together, over the years.
Means nothing to him now, now that he’s with her.
I wish he could only understand, the pain I endure.

But I am happy for him, because he is no longer sad.
Just like I am now, even though I’m still glad.
I just can’t understand why, he ignores me like he does.
I guess he likes her more, or maybe it’s just because.

Maybe I’m just jealous, maybe it’s a sin.
All I really know is, I’d never do that to him.

I am in a new relationship and I wanted to tell my friend Mike that I will still be there for him.  And that my girlfriend will never take his place.

it's difficult to be alone when your friends are not. Well done.

One Who Understands, It was as if you plucked those words from the feelings in my heart. My best friend is a man( not counting my husband of course) and now that he is married I stoped existing. It hurts. Your poem touched my heart. It is wonderful. I hope Mike knows what an amazing friend he has in you. -SEA

Thank you SEA,

I went through this with both of my best friends, and I am going to be so careful that I don't do the same thing that happend to me, to my other friend Mike.
