"A Certain Lady" by Dorothy Parker speaks to ladies who are considered a "bst friend" by their male friends who the ladies happen to fall in love with, and the guy has no clue. The speaker plays the girl who is always there to be pretty and listen, as she "can laugh and marvel, rapturous-eyed" and pay attention to the man while he tells her stories of his other love interests.
The speakers knows what she means to the man, even though he does not know that she is in love with him. She understand that is all she will ever be, yet she longs for him to want her, and realize what is infront of him. The poem is a classic story of this situation.
