Summary: I see her everyday with him. They're soul mates, they fit together. So where do I belong?
Why does she love him? Everyone thinks they belong together but I know they don't. I know she belongs to me. I know we're destined to be together. But she doesn't know. I'm just her best friend. Always there for her whenever they have a fight or when she needs to talk. Best friends forever. Some times I hate the words best friends. She uses them to describe us but I use words like soul mates.
Sometimes when I see them together, I want to scream at him that she's mine. But she's not mine, she's his. So I sit there silently, pretending that I don't care, when deep down I'm dying.
He doesn't appreciate her beauty. I have every part of her memorized. I know where every scar, where every birthmark is. I could go on for hours about her eyes, and how beautiful they are. He takes her kisses for granted. Every little kiss on the cheek she gives me, I memorize everything about it.
I love her. The only woman I've ever really loved and she loves someone else. I could never wreck her relationship. She would be crushed, and seeing her like that would kill me. So instead I act like he's my friend. Like he's a great person. But sometimes I wish he would die. I could never tell anyone that, so instead I sit here thinking about how much I love her.
"Joey? Are you okay?" Her beautiful eyes look at me filled with concern. "Didn't you hear me? We're getting married!"
Married. They're getting married. I've lost her forever.
"Yah, I heard congratulations. I always knew you guys were soul mates."
Her eyes filled with tears as she wrapped her arms around me. I savoured the moment, wishing it would last forever. But of course it ended when he suddenly appeared to take her out to celebrate.
One last hug and then they walked away hand in hand, off to celebrate their love while I stand here watching my one true love walk away. I knew right then and there that I had lost her forever to the man that I had set her up on a date with. I was the reason that Phoebe would be in Mike's arms tonight and not mine. And that killed me inside.
