is it possible to ONLY be friends with the love of your life?

Yes, it hurts to have a one way feeling towards someone your love dearly.. However, it is possible. You have to keep reminding yourself that as long as the one you loved is happy, you should be happy too.. and if she/he is not attached, hope that one day she would realise the true extend of your love and return it. If she/he is attached. Seeing her happy should mae you happy too.. to be dissatisfied or angry is to be selfish. Then the love have no longer any meaning.. It hurts in the beginning but it can over come in time.. Time heals all wounds... You just have to be strong.. Look out for someone who would return your love (though it might not be the same as your 1st love).

it is good to consider your boyfriend/girlfriend as your bestfriend as well. but let's face it, there are other people around us, too. someone who needs our attention, too. it's always better to reach out for them and make them feel they are welcome in your world, too.
