This is a tribute to the nice girls.
To the nice girls who are overlooked, who become friends and nothing more,
Who spend hours fixating upon their looks and their personalities and their actions because it must be they that are doing something wrong
This is for the girls who understand that they aren't perfect and that the guys they're interested in aren't either,
for the girls who flirt and laugh and worry and obsess over the slightest glance, whisper, touch,
because somehow they are able to keep alive that hope that maybe... maybe this time he'll have understood.
This is a homage to the girls who laugh loud and often, who are comfortable in skirts and sweats and combat boots,
Who care more than they should for guys who don't deserve their attention.
This is for the girls who have been there from the beginning
And have heard the trite words of advice,
from "there are plenty of fish in the sea," to "time heals all wounds."
This is for the girls who have never been in love, but know that it's an experience that they don't want to miss out on.
For the girls who have sought a night with friends and been greeted by a night of catcalling, rude comments and explicit invitations that they'd rather not have experienced
This is for the girls who have been told that they're too good or too smart or too pretty,
Who have been given compliments as a way of breaking off a relationship,
Who have ever been told they are only wanted as a friend.
This one's for the girls who you can take home to mom,
but won't because it's easier to sleep with a whore than foster a relationship;
This is for the girls who have been led on by words and kisses and touches,
All of which were either only true for the moment, or never real to begin with,
Only to discover that he's just not ready, he's just not over her
this is for the girls who believe the excuses because it's easier to believe that it's not that they don't want you
; this is for the nights spent dissecting every word and syllable and inflection in his speech
This is for the "I really like you, so let's still be friends" comment after you read more into a situation than he ever intended
This is for the hugs you've received from your female friends,
For the nights they've reassured you that you are beautiful and intelligent and amazing and loyal and truly worthy of a great guy
This is for the girls who have been used and abused
To the girls that just want to be loved
