Three

Three is a number, right after two.
Three is perfect for a family.
Three is not so perfect between friends.
Four is a better number for friends.
But I do not have three friends, I have two.
What can I do?
My two friends live closer to each other, so they hang out more.
I live far away.
I'm the third wheel.
They know it.
I know it.
But it's ok.
Not really.
Three is an awkward number between friends.
And I'm the third.
They know it.
I know it.
What can I do?
They don't try to hurt my feelings, but it happens sometimes,
When I want to be invited, but instead get pushed aside.
Maybe I should leave.
Leave my two best friends behind.
It would be better.
They know it.
I know it.
And instead of three, there would be two.
And it would be ok.
