a lot of people say that the best relationships start out from friendship. i agree. but when you're somehow stuck in limbo between being friends and being romantically involved, it sucks. for a guy, you would feel your way through, not knowing if pursuing the relationship would ruin your friendship or bring you to the next level. and when you're a girl (at least in our part of the world), you would wait. and if you're anything like me, you would think. a lot. does he like me? is this just me? are his actions his way of saying he likes me or that we're good friends? and somehow you're teetering between enjoying that "high" you experience when you're together and keeping your feelings in check. your logical and emotional selves are battling and you're praying that somehow, he saves you from it. you want to know where you stand and where you're headed from this point onwards. but you're hoping that wherever it is you're going, you won't get hurt.
so what do you do when you're in that limbo? do you step back and distance yourself with the chance that you're letting go of something that might be special? or do you hold on to that glimmer of hope, however faint, with the risk that you will get hurt?
i, for one, have no answers. these are questions i, myself, ask. all i know is that love poses both great rewards and immense pain. nobody said it was easy but nonetheless, it's a path everyone would like to take whether we admit to it or not.
"...and if i could hold on
through the tears and the laughter
would it be beautiful
or just a beautiful disaster?..."
