Friend Zoned

Sorry, Jeff...

By The Invisible WriterPublished about a year ago β€’ Updated about a year ago β€’ 1 min read

Oh, Jeff... I love you, too...but...

Love's not always enough... can't you see

The tears...the words...sometimes

The timing's off...you were there...I was here

Don't go, Jeff...someday...I might choose you

You're such a good guy...you know

I wouldn't know what to do....without your

Friendship.

For Fun

    Poor Jeff...he's catching hell! Be interesting to see if that name decreases in popularity over the next few years... Apologies that it took me so long to see your entry. Thanks much for writing!

    Poor Jeff, stuck in the "friend zone" limbo! This piece perfectly captures that bittersweet mix of hope and heartbreak. Sometimes timing really is the culprit, but man, those words sting!

  • Whoaaaa, she's such a self centered bitch! Loved your take on this challenge!

  • Mariann Carrollabout a year ago

    She is keeping it real and honest. At least she did not lead him on. Excellent take on the Challenge, Will .
