Everywhere I go

Everyone’s in pairs

There’s nothing worse

Than being a third wheel

The intimate jokes

That you’re not a part of

The moment you realize

That privacy is needed

And it’s not meant for you

The awkward table for two

Is quickly made up for three

The conversation has suddenly

Changed to finding you a date

No one wants to see you lonely and alone

So now all the attention is suddenly on the

Third wheel

I’m certain the next time you see me

I’ll most likely be paired

And no longer a third wheel

I don’t know why it’s such a big deal
