Third Wheel
Written May 2002
Ever hear this term before? Basically
it's when there is a couple, and a third person who is a friend.
When all three are together, it's like the 3rd person doesn't fully
belong in the group. Don't like that definition? Too bad.
Anywho, I know a couple, well knew them
before they were a couple. When they got together, it didn't really
feel like I belonged. Felt like I shouldn't be around, because they
had couple things to do. And it's not like I was around them a lot
either, might have seen them 2-3 times a week. Though I haven't seen
them in awhile. It could have been my own insecurities making me feel
that way, of course, and they did tell me they didn't mind, but still
felt like I shouldn't hang around when they were together.
So, I was what I would call a third wheel.
Though, perhaps a third wheel is someone who hangs around a couple
a lot, not giving them alone time? Maybe. I know that definition wouldn't
fit me, but I just felt like they didn't want me around. Don't get
me wrong, they are both really nice people, and I don't mean any offense
to them. I just can't help the way I feel, right?
Oh well, I'm not entirely sure if there's
a point to all this. They say it's good not to hold things in. Who
"they" are, I don't know.
