The Friend Zone

Posted by Terrence Johnson

These can be the most damaging words a guy can hear
"Let's be friends"
Friends?
I got plenty of friends
That's not what I want
I spent all this time trying to gain your attention
All for nothing
For the label of friend
You say it like that word makes everything okay
"I don't think we would work out"
"But we can be friends"
What do you want me to do
Throw a party or something
Change my facebook status
"I am so excited that____ let me be her friend today"
I would rather you hate me than be your friend
At least I would know exactly how you feel
Some girls say that guys can handle being their friend
They are just hoping that one day your decision will change
But you know what
Most of us 'friends' are the closest people to the girls we love
Support through their failed relationships
Someone they can depend on
Now that I am older I understand the friend zone
The label friend is applied when the person decides you are lacking in an area
Not equal in their status or stature
Not worthy to date, but important enough to keep around
It's your choice to remain 'friends' or strive for something better
A person that wants you for you
