There’s been long that one states, “love is friendship on fire.” People may think it’s just a romance or talk by young couples. However, this could be applicableto most aspect of them, I think. For example, X and Y are friends for long time. X is a girl and Y is a boy. Their relationship progresses from acquaintance to friends and from friends to very close friends. They’re help each other and share a lot together during their friendship time. They dare say and express their own idea, feeling, thought, and personality.
Consequently, when they become lovers, their friendship seems reluctant, meaning that they’d lose their frienship. They start thinking about love and other further issues, in case this love is positive. But if this love is negative, hatret occurs or one side become afraid of another or one side starts to walk away from love zone. Positive or negative here refers that both of them love each other, and the negative refers to only one side love.
The example above reveal very small part of the case. On the other hand, one says reverse development from the “love is friendship on fire” that love could become friends at when there are some problems facing them. As I observed, including my friend’s girlfriend, she also said to my friend that he should just be her friend from now on without any reason other than boyfriend, while they used to be a love couple. Another friend of mine also faced the same problem. That’s why this came to me to find out.
Love is friendship on fire but I can’t say friendship is love on fire, because friendship is about love and care. However, I insist that to some points in the future of this love, there should be friend or friendship if this love is in obstacle. Is this an excuse of not being responsible?
