Note- Was inspired to throw these thoughts out to the world while offering support to a friend who is going through a tough time...strangely, but not so strangely, we're both in the same boat..that's probably why we're such good friends??

For me, love has always grown out of friendship, out of knowing a person in and out. It has grown out of watching him be an angel at one time and the devil's incarnate at another time. It has grown out of being with him through his thick and thin, through his bouts of insanity and times of intellectual prime.
Sad but true that love fizzles out at some point, but how does that in anyway stop him from being my friend or ending the very foundation of our relationship which is friendship?
I have fallen in and out of love a few times and I've been fortunate enough to continue being friends with the blokes I have expressed my feelings to. However I've been not-so-fortunate with some others...I miss the companionship of those that decided to strain the friendship..I so wish they saw the world from my eyes and realize that we've all got one life and that as humans, most of us will live through the trials and tribulations, if we chose to that is. The point I'm trying to make is that, being in love with you or anyone else who doesn't reciprocate the same feelings, is a problem that is mine and mine alone. So don't waste your time severing the friendship trying to "help" me or speed the process of my getting over you. I will, when I think I'm ready. Be empathetic if at all you want to be anything and continue extending your support as a friend helping another, at a time of need....THAT my love, will help me and my little world will continue to be the world I want to live in.
