FRIENDS OR LOVERS

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

Is it really hard to fall in love with a friend? I know a lot of people are asking themselves this question. Friendship, for me, forms a bond between two people that is as strong as love. When you become comfortable being with someone, or sharing your deepest thoughts with that person, a connection is formed. For me, the only difference is that love involves romance and intimacy that friends will never share.

When the connection is formed, sometimes people confuse it for love. Sometimes, it really is love. Things become difficult though when one falls in love, but the other person can only offer friendship. And sadly, most people do not take rejection lightly, to the point that when love cannot exist, the friendship is also lost.

We tend to forget how hard it is to find a true friend these days, that we would rather lose that person totally rather than appreciate what the other person can offer.

It may be very hard to still be friends with someone you love, especially if that person cannot love you back. And if still hurts, we really cannot force ourselves to bring back the friendship. In time, though, we may realize that the bond we shared with that person is something special, something that only the two of you can ever have. Eventually, after all the pain and bitterness is gone, we can look back, be thankful, and appreciate the fact that we have found a true friend, and hope that the friendship can still exist.


FRIEND OF MINE
by MYMP

I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we'd ever be?
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
But babe, is this all we ever could be?

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I'm glad

I've known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I've loved you then and I love you still
You're a friend of mine
Now, I know friends are all we ever could be

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
and I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad

But then again
Then again
Then again I'm glad
