Left Out


Have you ever felt being left out?
You thought they're dear to heart,
but they didn't think of you as hard.

You used to share many things together.
Now they seem to be stranger than ever.
Shouldn't you be best friends forever?

You didn't know what they're thinking.
They neither gave you birthday greeting,
nor congratulating and come to your wedding.

You initiated to ask "how are you?"
They basically just ignored you,
and never put themselves in your shoe.

You're feeling hurt and disappointed.
Wished friendship could be mended.
But all were gone without anticipated.

"Best Friend" or Lovers?

From my experience, I believe men and women can't be "best friend." If both of them are straight, I think either they are attracted to each other or just one of them who is attracted to the other. Thus, there is still some expectation that is more than a regular friend. Don't take me wrong here, I am not saying that girls can't have friendship with boys and hang out together. I am talking about a real best friend, the one who you count on and be on your side in good and bad times.

I believe there are still some lines that the opposite sex can share as a friend; if not we won't know the difference between best friends (boys-girls) and lovers. Although between them there are no physical touch and flirting, it's not a guarantee that your friendship is not more than a regular friendship because it also show on how you give attention. You can know that something is going on if you care and expect him/her more than any of your other friends.

Therefore, my advise if you really think of him/her nothing more than a friend, you should know the lines and be careful not to go beyond the lines that make your friend to read the wrong signal. On the other hand, if you realize that you like him/her more than a friend don't hesitate to be honest with your feeling and show it. You will never know the outcome, but surely you will regret if you don't give it a try. However, don't take that too extreme in making yourself looked corny and desperate. "Love will find the way if you try."
