The Third Line

In a world where love seems to always find its way, I stand as the eternal third wheel, surrounded by friends wrapped in the warmth of their own romances, while I linger in the background, waiting for my own story to unfold. This collection is my journey through those moments-of watching love bloom from the sidelines, of feeling the weight of being the extra seat at the table, and of hoping for a time when I'll find my own love to break free from the lingering shadows.

These poems, refined and shared from my own experiences, offer a reflection on love, longing, and the quiet moments of being the "third" in a world of two. With each rhyme, prose, and almost-poetry, I invite you to walk alongside me, finding familiarity and understanding in the space between the lines. Whether you've felt like the odd one out or simply wondered if you, too, will ever find your perfect match, this book is for anyone who has ever been The Third Line.
