The Leading Lady
Watching an old movie and struck by the actor's linesWords that seemingly ring true to past love designs
As I continue to watch the scene alone in my head
Cuddled with blankets in my overstuffed platform bed
Could I not deny; the well-planned outcome to each great love-affair
"Always the friend, never the leading lady." - this program line did declare
The phase is indeed true ... I am the lady they seem to dismiss
I guess I'm racking up the friends as we all continue to reminisce
