Chapter of Love - Monologue III

You now, I remember someone saying that friendship can turn to love.. But love never turns to friendship.. Now isn't that something worthy of remembrance..? I have no doubt about it whatsoever.. The thing is though, that when one of two friends fall in love in the other, that causes. shall we say.. complications.. Think about it, doesn't love change everything forever..? The eyes that you once laid on each other, are now different.. How could they not be... You have declared your undying love to someone who doesn't love you back.. Not more than a friend anyway... So how can you solve this little problem? You can't.. Feelings can't be controlled.. Love won't fade simply because of wishes for a simpler relationship.. So what can you do.. Well, go on loving.. But keep it to yourself.. If you truly love your dearest, you cannot let love slip of your tongue.. Why make the complicated, more complicated..? How would you feel if, let's say your best friend declared love beyond friendship.. Love that you are incapable of returning.. Even though it's not your fault, I can imagine a sense of guilty conscience.. Etienne Ray said, "The best proof a man can give his love, is by keeping it hidden.." I'm not saying that you shouldn't take a chance, I mean, of course it could be worth it.. But once you've taken that fateful step, you need to accept whatever it is that may follow.. If your Heart gets broken, then so be it.. Pick up the shards and put them back together in their rightful place.. Even a bleeding Heart can serve the purpose of keeping one's feelings.. Let them dwell there in silence.. If time lets them fade away.. Then your Hearts will, have come to pass.. If not.. If your feelings never die, then at least you can live with the comforting thought that you know what it truly means to love.. It is important that we always remember and never forget, that love is a mighty feeling.. One that should always be cherished.. returned or not..
