Backup

I'm nobody's best friend.
I have friends,
But no one says I'm their best friend.
I don't get invited to sleepovers,
I don't get random texts,
No one is afraid to lose me,
I'm just the backup friend.
It sucks.
It hurts so much,
Because I'm not special to anyone.
No one makes plans with me,
No one shares their headphones with me,
No one dances in the rain with me,
Or sings with me while laughing,
Or hugs me goodbye when I leave the door,
No one even says goodbye to me.
I just leave unnoticed.
I'm tired of being the backup friend.
But I'll get over it,
I'll be the backup.
