the other girlfriend

she's the bitch. the homewrecker. the one who puts poison to apples. the number two. the substitute. the one people are gushing about. the slut.
enough.
she may be deemed as the bad one, but what the heck, she LOVES him.
it is as simple as that.
because more than being the other woman, she…
WAITS for the "right" time.and HOPES that the "for the mean time lang naman tayong ganito" would be over soon.
STEPS OUT when it's time for her to be with him.and STEPS BACK IN when she's gone.
ABSORBS all the backbites in the world.and ALLOWS herself to be judged.
KEEPS their kilig stories away from the box she shares with friends.and DENIES herself the right of self-_expression.
is OBLIGED not to demand nor get jealousand is almost always AWARE that she has no right to get hurt.
can't even SAY his name in public.
is EXPECTED to understand and adjust and give way.ALL THE TIME
i know.i understand.i feel.
because the other woman is me.
