are you a meantime girl?

are you the one whom he calls when he is bored? because you make him laugh. are you the one whom he calls when he is feeling down? because you are willing to lend an ear and be a friend? are you the one with whom he spends time with between girlfriends, before he finds the one? the one whom he keeps around for the meantime? he doesn't have to wine and dine you because you already know him and he doesn't have any facades to keep up, no pretenses to preserve. and although you would never say it, it hurts you to know that despite all your good points and all the fun you two have, he doesn't think that you're good enough to spend any real time with. sure, it's mostly your fault, because you don't have to give in to his needs. you can play hard-to-get like the rest of them do. but you both know that you probably won't be able to pull it off. maybe you're too short, or a little overweight. whatever the reason, somehow life has given you a lot of really great qualities but left out the ones that men want in a woman. so you remain the forever friend, the steadfast companion, the secret lover...while he goes on searching for his goddess who will somehow be everything he ever wanted in a woman.you don't captivate him with your beauty. mainly, you blend in with the crowd. you don't want to be the center of attention and you don't turn the heads of everyone in a room. but you want to turn someone's head. you know that you want to be special to someone too.you have feelings. you have a heart. in fact, you probably have a bigger heart than any woman he has ever known because you have the front row seat to The Mess That Is His Life and you still like him anyway. you obviously see something worthwhile and redeeming in him because although he has given you nothing, and there's absolutely no reason for you to still be around...you are still there for him.this post isn't only for the meantime girls out there. i'm pretty sure that there are some whom we may call meantime guys. i guess that at some point in our lives, some of us have been that kind of person to someone. it's not easy, you will get your heart broken little by little, over and over again. but still, you keep on going, hoping that one of these days, that person will see you in a different light. but what if that time never comes? would you settle for being that person who is just there...for the meantime?
