The Rebound

What hurts the most?

It isn't loneliness...

It isn't night without cuddles...

It isn't rejection after dates..

What hurts the most?

It's knowing you have him in your life,

But you wouldn't be his number one even when you're wearing the ring..

You wouldn't be the face he looks for in his despair..

You wouldn't be the person he yearns for..

That you would forever be, just "the" option,

The Fail Safe back up plan...

Forever the background character in your own romance novel...
