I'm not
The main character
Not here
Not while I'm in this town
I'm not
The main character
That everyone adores
I'm not
The quirky best friend
That everyone is in love with
I'm not
The love interest
The one that everyone wishes
Was their own lover
I'm not
Any of them
I could be
The old best friend
That drifted apart
Giving the main character
Their backstory
For why it's hard for them to open up
I might be
The childhood crush
Who was blissfully unaware
Of their position
Perhaps I am
The secondary love interest
That eventually leaves
The main character behind
Giving them the motivation
To go after the person they really love
As long as I can leave
This town behind
I'm okay
With not being
The main character
