him

"I don't know, he get's like that whenever I talk to guys. He's my best friend, that's all." she said

"Oh I see", I replied.

"Yeah, just my friend." she reassured.

I remember when I was talking to her and she was talking to him. I remember hating him more than anything. I didn't think he was right for her. He wouldn't be able to apperciate her...apperciate her like I would.

I felt so awful. Why didn't she want me instead of him? I knew all of her secrets, all of her desires, what she needed, what she wanted, and how she wanted and needed it..but yet I just couldn't get through to her. He was always in the way.

I wanted her and she wanted him. I was just her friend. And I had never been so miserable.

Back to the present.

New girl, new circumstance. This time I'm him.

"Why don't you give him a chance?", I asked

"What? Do you not want to date anymore?", she asked

"No it's not that. I just know what it's like to be the other guy. And I know how much it hurts."

"Oh."

"Yeah, give him a chance."

Let's hope this "what goes around comes around" thing actually exists....
