Opposite of Kate

In the movie, The Holiday, an old and wise award-winning screenwriter, said to Kate Winslet -- You're a leading lady. Why do you take the role of the bestfriend?

Taking this, maybe -- all this time -- I have been doing it in reverse.

Maybe I have been looking at myself through a cruel mirror.
Maybe -- all this time -- I have been seeing more than what's really there.
Maybe all I really am is the best friend -- eternally faithful, loyal and available.
Someone who'll listen to every petty story, help to any extent and compliment every minute accomplishment.

That's all I am and will ever be.

I won't be put on a pedestal.
I won't receive roses.
I won't be seranaded.

The earlier I accept this, the better -- the easier it'll be for me to accept my destiny.

I am the opposite of Kate.
