Friendship in a Lover’s Perspective

June 17, 2008

Man will never live without associating himself to a group or to someone. Often than not we cling to somebody for refuge and acceptance. We always wanted to have a buddy to whom we can share our insights, and voice out our in-depth thoughts which has been long kept for some personal reasons. This maybe brought about solely by fear of rejection. At any circumstances no one can live alone. That’s why we have friends and we continuously become a friend to someone. But what if one falls for the other? But the other remains to be a friend. Which is harder the one who is in love and hides, or the one who knows that her friend is in love with him but ignores it to continue the friendship?

Both are painful scenarios. She might end up treating the friendship as a battle rather than something comforting. Some says she doesn’t have a choice, but the truth is she has. She can probably live and put an end to the battle she is in. But often she opt to stay for friendship sake notwithstanding the prolonged agony seeing her friend with someone else and continuously savoring the pain hearing beautiful stories about different girl. The only price she gets is when her friend confesses problems that he doesn’t open up to anybody else. Happiness brought by sense of trustworthiness. This is the fulfillment she gets from convincing herself that she is a true friend.

Is the man that insensitive not to feel it? Man knows. He feels it. But some tries to convince their sub-sub-conscious that it isn’t true. This denial allows him to continually be a friend and stay. Others may live and forget about friendship for some time. Because they can’t stand still seeing her friend suffers knowing that he is the reason. It is also difficult for a man not to feel the same way to her friend. He might feel sorry but will never use pity to love her in return.  He may know how painful it is for her friend when he tells story about her girl friend. He feels the pain when sometimes he stops when the moment gets intimate between them. Why continuously confess problems about his heartache when he knows her friend is hurt? That he knows that every word he utters tears his friends heart. Maybe because that’s what everyone sees how friendship works. You have somebody to talk with, someone to cry with and someone who you trust. Without these they might feel like there’s a cold war going on…  What is righteous then, staying or living your friend behind?

This is always true to friends. And some may have experienced both. Loving your friend and not loved in return. Ignoring, hurting and staying. We always have unique perspective of friendship and as we go along with our lives we get to meet people whom we consider to be our friends and only those true friends get to stay: those who believe in openness, communication and trustworthiness regardless of the existence of forbidden love.
