Loving a friend can be as painful as rejection of any sort
Because one slip of the hand and things become awkward
You won't see them as much as you did
And when you do, there's tension
Like walking a romantic tightrope with a gust of wind pushing you from either side, a friendship keeps you stable
But bring love into the equation and it's one sided
You feel the wind working against you and though you may try, you cannot remain stable
You fall, farther than you ever thought you would
Or could
And what's at the bottom
Is even worse.
