2

Let me tell you a sad story of 2:

2 guys.
Friends since the beginning,
Went through thick and thin.
Shared each others hopes
Aspirations, fears,
Secrets.

2 girls.
Extroverted elitists externally,
Independent imagos internally.
Opened up to the guys.
Associations, friendships,
Blossomed.

2 crushes.
Every guy to his girl.
Secrets within them both unfurled,
Keeping it from the world.

2 months.
The flames apparently extinguished.
One secretly harboured the torch.
The other's dropped without anguish.

Best friends they supposedely be,
Yet under the spell of epiphany,
One told the other's girl
And
In petty retribution,
The Other told One's girl.

One was angered.
The Other, endangered.
The girls were highly amused.
The crowd was highly bemused
(Typical)


*awkward silence*


One could have lost the chance.
One could never have had it with his girl.
One would have been forever stuck in a trance.
Until his girl professed the same love,
Lucky One.

The Other had nothing at all to lose.
The Other had, after all, dissipated the crush.
The Other had no one at all to choose.
Until his girl professed the same love,
Or a lack thereof.

*glass shatters*

Nobody cares about the Other.
The Other that has lost
2 good friends.
One in permanent pairing.
His girl, due to present awkwardness.

One plus one is 2.
The Other minus one is 0.
