a friend or a lover?

Hi...after reading your sweet, compassionate response about putting our dog Tasha to rest I checked out your site and requested you as a friend. I am very moved by your comments there...and this discussion and hope to have more chats. It is so refreshing to have heart-warming discussions posted like this one. You are a welcome addition to our community...and I hope you decide to stay. In regard to your quotation...I think it is very true. Often the one we love the most can and do hurt as the most...even when they don't intend to. And sometimes it is our friends who, during those times provides what we need...and cries when we cry..and yes they can turn out to be the ones we love...whether as a lover...or just a wonderful life mate. Good topic...interesting discussion and thanks for positing it. Raia

Yes, it is really very true. A lover always a true friend but all friends can't be a good lover.

maybe..i dunno. but sometimes i believe with this quote.

I would have to agree. After the ex-boy friends I've had and other "best" friends, sometimes things just don't work out like you think they're going to. Yet, despite this you find who your true friends are in life that lift you up and help you keep going.
