Hey everyone!
I wrote this one from Justin's perspective, but the way it's written, it can almost apply to anyone who may be "stuck in the friend zone". I did that on purpose, too, since a lot of this comes from my own experience.
I hope you enjoy it!
Also, I do not own Wizards of Waverly Place. Sorry. : (
Good… but not good enough.
It's the story of your life.
Even though you try so hard, and everyone says you have everything going for you, all the talent and smarts and luck in the world, but none of it matters, because she is all that matters.
You've tried so hard for all of your life. You were everything you'd ever thought she would want, you were there to hold her when she cried, tease her when she needed a laugh, build her up when she was down, but still she ignored you.
Even though you thought you had everything, even though everyone else told you that you had the whole world at your feet, you didn't have everything, you had nothing, and what little you did have meant nothing to you. Because no matter how you tried, no matter what you did, she could never see you in that way.
You are her brother, her closest confidant and friend, but you can never be anything more, even though she's occupied that special, reserved place in your heart since you can't even remember when. For so long you've thought of nobody else, but in vain.
And you want to scream, you want to throw something, you want to wail your frustration and sadness and betrayal to the world, you want to beat yourself up because you are helpless, you are worthless, you are good… but not good enough.
Your parents tell you you're the good one, that you deserve the best girl in the world, but you don't want the best one, you want her, because she makes you better, because she brings out those traits that you hide from everyone else, because when you're with her, everything is right.
But she'll never see you that way, because even though you're good… you're not good enough.
