Just A Friend || Spoken Word || Sophia Thakur x Chozen

7 years later and I still come back to this amazing poem.

Me too,I keep coming every year back to it

"If he'd try a thing, I know you'd say no. But you two are only friends as long as you say so."

[@tjthethird4205]

Exactly bro and the funny thing is I dont believe in best friends in a relationship

[@TheRealLifeofKel]

Exactly felt that to the core

Sophia Thakur this is my favorite duet poem. I don't like duet poems, but this one is too good and true. I lost my best friend because her man peeped the same thing and made her cut me off. she chose him over me and it hurt. but in his defense we used to say stuff like 'if we're both single at (insert age here) then we'll marry each other 😂 and the realist line was 'You're only friends as long as YOU say so'. if she ever threw it at me, I'd have swung away at it XD just the nature of men. if she's attractive, we want to sleep with her.

[@thisdudesam4332]

Sophia Thakur ❤🔥

[@rparchman]

@@J.I.0that was real

[@TheYoungwildcat]

The line when he says "your only friends because you say so" is so perfect because if your girl is beautiful like that not many guys are turning her down especially there "Best Friends" Kinda upset there wasn't really and ending but I loved it anyways hah

[@aaronwoodard2514]

Amen 👐

[@itsjustdorian8927]

man... its like that some times... It's cool to get the girls insight on this subject, but to be honest, Just speaking for myself here, what she said is a hard pill to swallow as a man. I'm single now but when I was in a committed relationship I didn't like "friends". The thought of my girl needing another man in her life made me feel insecure about where I stood in her life. It created tension, or maybe I did. Great poem.

This is one of the videos that made me fall in love with spoken word poetry and also gave it a shot in 2013. I had to come back to watch it because it's my spoken word first love and I'm currently thinking of going back to doing spoken word poetry.

[@raybiketi]

I envy you ,I wish I could recite this word for word

[@girlpower148]

why can't people realise that guys and girls can just be friends

[@mockman9263]

Miss Shy no girls can be friends with guys but guys cant be friends with girls

[@TotalFreshness]

mockman Shut the fuck up. I have a shitload of friends who are girls.

[@rcabr1]

Imnotmagiic I too am friendzoned

[@TotalFreshness]

Raul Cabral Yeah the problem is that you guys treat girls like goddesses. Girls don't want a guy who is easy. I don't give a damn about them and that makes me get all the pussy i want.

[@rcabr1]

Sad truth man I agree with you

[@ash86marie]

If he tried something I know you'll say no, but you're only "friends" so long as YOU say so!

I’m here again. In 2023. Damn. I was so young when I first listened to this. Now, I deeply understand these words because I’m a tad older and can relate. Also, I think his “points” were valid. Well done, for the umpteenth time, Sophia! 🤍

[@0101msnikki]

It frustrates me when guys say "its not you we don't trust, it's him." Its offensive, because you're implying that I am incapable of saying 'no' if a sexual opportunity arises. When I'm with someone, I'm WITH that person and no one else. I've kicked guy friends out of my house and never spoken to them again because I could see their intentions. Girls are capable of saying no. We're capable or turning down situations that men may see as 'tempting'. Because there's nothing tempting about throwing away a lifetime of love for a night of lust.

[@sariyahsworld_]

But can u honestly say if ur boyfriend had a girl "best"friend, hanging out by themselves, talking on the phone about y'all arguments, having a special bond, that u wouldn't have a problem with that?

[@Aszourus]

+Nevaeh Heaven no woman can say they agree with that and if she says she does she's just saying it to prove you wrong.

[@Mentalcheez]

+Nicole Reis True, ofc girls can say no. But if your SO felt as uncomfortable about your friend as the guy in the video, isn't it enough? Would you rather have your SO trying to handle that? You commented: "its not you we don't trust, it's him." Its offensive, because you're implying that I am incapable of saying 'no' if a sexual opportunity arises. Nicole, it might not be any kind of implication. It might simply be the believable fact, that your SO trusts and knows you, way more than he knows your friend. I agree though, that you should trust your partner no matter what. With that said, did you notice in the video how the girl didn't deny any of her SO's ideas about her friend liking her more than a friend? She didn't deny or argue the thought of her friend having intimate feelings for her. This doesn't mean she thinks it's true, but that should have been the underlining explanation for his feelings; She instead overlooked that and said that when they part, they part as friends. She doesn't pay any mind to the fact that she is putting herself in situations whereby the supposed feelings her friend has for her could possibly grow; she doesn't pay any mind to the fact that her SO feels uncomfortable about her doing that. She portrays "deal with it. I don't care. It's your insecurity." If my SO felt insecure about a particular person in my life. The first thing I'd do is explain everything in detail to her. If she brings it up again or questions it more, I'd answer all her questions, and try to see her perspective as to why she felt that way. If I think she has a point and maybe my friend does seem to have feelings for me, I would distance myself from the person asap. In the case where she could be overreacting, I'd try to persuade her. And if she brought it up once again, and told me that it really makes her uncomfortable, I wouldn't question it further. Regardless of my friend's intent, if it makes my SO feel that way, I'd choose my SO's happiness/comfort over a friend.

[@Aszourus]

Watch the news, it shows that the word no doesn't mean jackshit for some people. and don't say but he's my friend he would never do that. The rapist, the pedophile, the criminal is always the the nice neighbour nobody expects it from. stop being naive.

[@kenyaeshabazz4462]

This is deep and I feel this speaks truth. Trust is an important things to have, but women need to understand that its not you we don't trust. Its the actual guy because honestly MOST not all guys would not pass up the opportunity to sleep with you if it could happen even if you did have a boyfriend or not.

[@MrArcadia67]

This is EXACTLY what me and my girl went we still aint talked about it, every time i mention it, we cuss.. and fuss, and it cause a rift between the both of us... its like everything we discuss , becomes a cause for distrust, just because the way we started , is the way she dealing with with her ex .. and some next man, causing me to feel a lack of trust . And she won't see it, it always turns out being my fault, If I had this with some girl, it would cause hell on this world, why women don't see what they do to us.. then the claim and scream, oh, you don't trust ? >B/

[@thisdudesam4332]

Kaiba Uchia 🔥

[@Aszourus]

Funny how women think men are tripping about this, nobody denies that a woman can have intentions of just being friends with a guy. The guys are the problem when it comes to this. And we know this because we ARE guys and we know how guys are. i don't even know a handfull of guys who would pass on the opportunity to try something with their "hot friend". We love you and want to protect you from that, but you're making it difficult

[@zahriarhyne5967]

I have a state of duality with your comment because I can empathize from a man's prospective and at the same time understand a woman's point of view. Truth is no one's writes no ones wrong lol.

[@Aszourus]

and i can understand that, but if you understand it from the mans perspective you have to realise that the woman shouldn't choose her point of view when it's harmful to her relationship and hurts her partner. Obviously he's concern because of his love for you. I as a man don't hang with girl buddies. out of respect for my partner. Wether she would be oke with it or not i can see as a person how it could mess with my partners state of mind and confidence.

[@domdittyful]

This happens way to much. You women need to wake the hell up and see that no straight man wants to only just be your friend! Thats why us guys get so mad bcuz we know what he's trying to do and it works a lot because women can be so naive too it...

[@NIna213456789]

+Dom Jenkins not entirely

[@domdittyful]

See, you might be the naive type I'm talking about. I do understand that man and woman can be friends. But most men are looking for more. Period.

[@NIna213456789]

+Dom Jenkins most not all. And I'm not naive, I just know that you shouldnt be generic.

[@JonnyGetsLost]

+Dom Jenkins So I met this girl, right? Like, 2 years ago and she was beautiful and single and we shared interests an it was great, yeah? So obviously we became friends but we both had feelins for each other an I made a move, as ya do wen you see where shit is headed. Well, turns out that she wasn't up for it and she turned me down. Thing is, this chick rocks an I want her in my life. So guess what? I'm cool with just being her friend, she made it clear she didn't want more than that and thats cool. So I would say that some straight men are ok with just being friends, so long as they know exactly where they stand. It's the bitches that keep leading us on that we don't need.

[@JonnyGetsLost]

Dom Jenkins not quite dude, since she came on to me about 2 weeks ago and I rejected her and went home alone cos like I said, we're just friends now, she missed her chance at gettin with me and I respect myself enough not to just jump into bed with her cos she happens to be horny and I happen to be the best choice available at the time. So no, ur wrong, the opportunity did present itself and I, a straight guy, knew that I'd rather stay friends with her than make shit complicated.

[@views-cd7tk]

I watched this and 100% relate to every word! My girlfriend's got a number of "male best friends" and Im trying to not be that guy whos "controling" her. This creates insecurities to me, yeah you probably say but I should voice out how I feel, but how do you do that when you know shes got a shoulder to cry on when to you shes your only shoulder to cry on? Its like Im pouring myself out empty to her and yet she doesnt pour herself out empty to me, so I remain empty and she remains full, and when my empty self makes a lot of noise like an empty tin, she says Im just b!tchin... male best friends arent good in a relationship, so are female bestfriends. I told her once that attention is a currency in a relationship, and the little attention you give elsewhere is going to be like an investment that will grow and grow until it matures and God knows when will that be and how we will handle it, "we" probably wont, they are likely to handle it. Give a man the little time of yours a day, he can sell you the world and for women, some of you dont understand your weakness which is our strength, which is how we end up wiht you, thats what scares us, that we know he may say he is just a friend, we know you see him only as a friend and thats just you, but to him, the more attention he gets from you, the more he doesnt see my existence. Because if he sees and respects my presence, he wouldnt bother you in our time or even as much. Sophia said he cares like a bestfriend should...then if he cares, what am I here for? Am I not supposed to be your bestfriend? Who cares for you better between me and him? See what just happened? Now Im starting to compare me and him and this love is now a competition and youre not even aware youre the award! You think youre hanging on my neck like a medal yet youre really bending my neck and allowing yourself to slide out slowly...I dont know, Im hurt, everyday I think of this, and worse is we are in a long distance relationship, he stays closer to her, he sees her almost everyday, I love her with all my heart! On God I do! But she seems to be blind to the little things that could make me an ex

[@StyledByBreceLeeay]

[@OfficialCondoMAN]

Girls are kinda like this. they can be good liars when it comes to disguising another guy into a friend but turns out to be the rebound when her line is set for a breakup attack, ITS THEIR TALENT.

[@LuvMehSi]

I don't have a problem with ladies and friends. However, if you are in love with someone, they should fill in that position of "Best Friend". Communication is so important, and if your spouse has to go to another man/woman for some peace, then someone's fucking up. Couples problems should be handled by the people involved, if a mediator is necessary than get one.

[@dxminixn]

[@Abwao4]

Most of the friendships involving the opposite sex usually result in one or all of the friends crossing the boundary. Those in such relationships should stop pretending that they are flawless and have every answer the other friends' problems. This is because they will start comparing their friends to their girlfriends or boyfriends and that's where real problems begin...

[@RayyanBarakat]

Guy is 100% right. Why can't girls confide in other girls or family members when it comes to their man? If your 'best friend' puts more effort into you than your family and girl friends then he clearly is doing it because he knows he is getting something out of it for himself. When the guy said it's only a friendship aslong as she says it is; 200% true.

Some things ought to be sorted out internally, now if you be running to your male besty everytime you have issues with your man than you have serious problems, because the male besty is like a ravenous wolf seeking for an opportunity to devour, he is glad you have problems, he listens so attentively for some browny points because he knows for some reasons ladies seems to like guys who listen and guys knows that you like it, especially those male besties... Careful ladies 😂😂
