A hundred

"You're funny"s

don't equal even one

"You're beautiful".

I'm the girl you tell

about how pretty that

brunette in your lecture is,

or how you wish you had

the nerve to ask that one

girl for her number.

I'm the girl that tells you

to go for it,

or to be reasonable.

The one who reminds you

that there are more fish in

the sea.

I'm the girl who makes you laugh,

the girl friend,

but never a girlfriend.

But I'll keep cracking jokes, anyway.
