on friendship

i found this at X's blog and thought i'd post it here, after editing some grammatical errors (yak, OC talaga! hehe).

it's not extremely profound or anything.. but it made me smile when i read it. hmmm.

hey sam.. let me know your take on this one, ok? ;-)

Friends and Lovers

Lovers fight. And so do friends. But lovers kiss and make-up. Friends make-up only. But when lovers don't make up, usually they just cool off and find it hard to be the same again. When friends don't make up, it's the weirdest feeling in the world so they still make-up eventually.

Lovers get jealous. And so do friends. But lovers get jealous because they demand commitment. Friends get jealous because they demand attention. But when lovers get jealous, they really look serious. When friends get jealous, they look funny.

Lovers give each other gifts. And so do friends. But when lovers do this, it's but natural. When friends give each other gifts, it's sooooo sweet.

Lovers make each other happy. And so do friends. They hang out, call one another, talk, yell, encourage when the other is down, sing, dance, eat together. They share secrets, dreams, take care of each other. But lovers expect these from one another. Friends willingly choose to do this with one another.

Lovers can be complicated. And so can friends. But lovers usually try hard to adjust to one another. Friends just stay the way they are and don't give a damn whether they are nuts, or freaks, or stupids. 'Coz friends are not turned-off; they only laugh.

Lovers freak-out when you forget birthdays. And so do friends. But lovers wouldn't forgive until they forget. Friends wouldn't forgive until an hour after when they receive a li'l bar of chocolate with a cheap card.

Lovers really love each other. And so do friends. But lovers either get married or break up. Friends either stay friends or nothing at all.
