I am solely the best friend
I am used to that
I am the girl you invite to the game because you think you're going to score your first home-run of the year and I know the sport well
I am the girl you have proof-read your poetry to make sure it is okay to show another
I am the girl you rehearse the love song for to assure that it is suitable for sharing
But the home-run is never made in my honor
And the poems will never mention my name
And the beautiful love song was never meant for me
But I show up to the game with a sign decked out in glitter with your name and number held up high
And I let you know that a sonnet is fourteen lines and should be written in iambic pentameter
And I tell you your voice was sounding a tad flat when you were singing the lyrics "Baby this song is all for you"
You say "Thanks, you're the best friend a guy could ask for"
And I smile and nod, I am used to this
