• Friendship


    The difference between Friendship and Love,
    Is the difference between the sun and the moon…
    Is the difference between the air and the wind…
    Is the difference between the lake and the river…

    Sometimes, it feels the same way…
    While others, it seems way too different…
    It is easy for one to love your friend,
    But is it just as easy to be a friend to the one you love?

    In many ways Love beats friendship…
    One is that you cannot forever live with your friend…
    Second is that love is not easily found… what is rare, is precious…
    Third is that it’s easy to forget your first best friend, but not your first crush…

    Then, why is this named friendship and not love?

    Which comes first? Friendship or love?
    That is easy, don’t you think…?
    Even in a dictionary, Friendship comes first…
    Hats off to the lexicographer…

    F for First
    F for Finest
    F for Feeling
    F for Friendship

    Easy to say,
    First Finest Feeling, Friendship.

    Love is in no way lower than Friendship…
    It is just that Friendship is higher…
    Way higher—a height that Love can reach…
    But a height that Love isn’t willing to reach…

    Friendship is just another feeling… another ship…
    Which has every chance to sink,
    Into this wide ocean of hatred and grudge...
    And what actually makes friendship not sink…?

    Love
