Number 2

By Sonal Taparia

I am your best friend,

Your soulmate,

Your favourite, so you say ,

But I always find myself standing at the bay.

You tell me again & again,

Everytime you'll choose me,

without any dilemmas or pain.

But that's the thing i am worried about.

For me , with you, there's no choice,

You are my happy place and mellow noise,

You are the person i rejoice .

Sometimes, I find myself asking,

What if i could replace your number 1?

Because frankly speaking,

being number 2 is no fun.

Or i could replace you,

Be among the first few.

To get past the haze and the blue,

I am just so tired of being your number 2.

But My dear Best Friend,

This is not how i want our story to end.

You Matter to me a lot,

Please Let's just change the plot.

For now, I ll Give us time,

Because a friendship like ours isn't dozen a dime.
