Over texts,
I'm your best friend.
You would even be ready to make her your ex.

Over texts,
I am everything you ever wanted;
I am your unpaid therapist;
a kind heart who is there to listen to you;
and a free advisor.

But when we are in person,
I am a stranger to you.
You're even embarrassed to stand next to me.
You don't even want to walk down the hallways with me by your side.
Why?
You think that being my friend is embarrassing?
I mean, it would never even be about you.
People would talk about me, say things about me, assume shit about me.
Not you.
And I wouldn't even care about what people would think.
So why?
Why did you never claim me as your friend offline?
When over texts, we were literally each other's lifeline.
