Ms. Perfect

by Kat Ongoco

You're in love with
our friend,
i was extremely
happy for you, then.

You broke up,
you asked me why,
i answered with all
honesty and you realized.

You were hurt,
i told you to forget
about her and
move on.

I was in love,
you were there,
aware and informed
with all my stories.

I was left alone,
you're still there,
listening, laughing and
trying to make me smile.

They say you're
happier now,
i felt different
and surprised.

I heard you're
courting a new gal,
i suddenly wished
her to be me.

I was surprised
with myself when
I prayed and asked
Him for that.

Because you are
my guy friend,
my almost best friend,
you are a good friend.

Then, someone told
me, that you're in love
with a girl and
you call her "Ms. Perfect".

I became curious,
i asked who she is
and if i know her,
she said "Yes".

I asked again, she
said i'll be surprised,
asked for the third
time, again, no answer.

I asked how perfect
the girl is, so as to
identify who she is,
she answered me fast.

"She has a good heart,
she's also smart, friendly,
funny and with a good
sense of humor."

"She makes him happy
every time they talk,
special every time
she's with him."

"Wow", i said.
The only word i was
able to say, then i realized
she's really perfect.

Then she said,
the girl he badly loves
is the same girl i am
talking with now, You.
