“Falling for a friend” =/= “Failing as a friend”
Did I fail being a friend?
Or did I love enough to see them in myself?
Maybe it’s a phase. Feelings may still linger.
Falling for a friend does not make you a shitty friend.
Pretending to be a friend while waiting for their relationship to fail makes you a shitty person.
You can’t secretly wish breaking their heart so that you can heal them… That’s a pseudo love.
In the end, if the motive is self-gratification, there can be no love.
The love that’s selfless, unadulterated, virgin, sets the other free.
With no claim.
Expression can be there. Emotions are bound to be there. But no claim.
Tears are there. Longing is also there. But no obligation.
There can’t be a reason to Love someone. Material, societal, or otherwise.
It is when the reason ceases, Love can be.
In the moment, all lovers are mad.
You love someone for their own sake. For what they are.
Not for what they can provide, not for anything they can. But simply for their own being.
A love that comes on its own has a beauty beyond measure.
You love someone because seeing them happy enriches your soul.
You need not even be the reason for their smile.
You open your heart and lay waiting.
Not with a motive but with a song.
