love.

it is a beautiful thing..
often taken for granted;
often mistaken for something else..
it brings happiness..
it brings ppl closer together..
it brings sweet memories never to be forgotten;
always to be kept in the heart..
it brings smiles to faces..
it makes dreams worthwhile..
it is the thing you'd wake up for every day;
the very core of your being..

love for family..
love for friends..
love for that special someone..
love for all there is to love in the world..

so many things that love can do..
it can make you laugh..
it can make you cry..
it can make you wish of things never before possible..
it can make you dream of greater dreams..
it can keep you hoping..
it can strengthen your faith..

but alas..
love can hurt..
love can break..
it causes pain that takes a long time to heal..
it causes jealousy..
it causes ppl to hate..
it brings tears..
it brings heartache..
it brings loneliness..
it brings emptiness..
all this love can do..
if not taken care of like it should be..

however, the worst of all is..
love can cause friendship to cease..
friends you used to laugh with..
friends you used to share troubles with..
friends you used to cry with..
gone..
all because of love..

now i no longer understand
what exactly is love?
i've always thought of love as beautiful..
a special bond only two ppl understand between themselves..
it makes you sacrifice anything at all for that person just to see a hint of their smile;
even if it tore your heart in two..
it is hope that is never-ending..
it is trust, it is understanding..
it is faith..
it is patience..
it is a true feeling so great, so pure between two hearts..
it is no holding back..
it is something that cannot be put in mere words..
it is a feeling only you would know;
deep inside your being..

but when misused, misunderstood..
so much hurt that love can bring..
so confusing..
so hurting..
now i no longer understand..

as for what you and i have lost..
a friendship so true..
it hurts to know
there is no forgiveness for me..
i'm sorry..
i really hope you would not do this..
but if it makes you happy..
there is nothing i can say..
i can only thank you anyway
for all that you've been to me..
my friend..
