'Plan B'

And I wondered how can it be felt that effortlessly                                                                                                                                      The feeling of not being left out, when that one leaves                                                                                                                                               Only then you remember my existence and that I’m here                                                                                                                                            Seasons went by and you’ve travelled the world with that one in mind                                                                                                                                            Yet I’m still stuck here waiting for you but you never came
                                                                                                                                             
It wasn’t about being busy as you said, I just wasn’t the priority                                                                                                                                           That feeling of uneasiness in my chest that I get when                                                                                                                                            I realize I didn’t mean as much as you did for me                                                                                                                                           When I’m included only when others aren’t available
                                                                                                                                                
It feels like there’s a void in my heart surrounded by endless solitude                                                                                                                                           But can it be filled when I’m no longer the backup friend, your “Plan B”?....
