Love has everything to do with friendship

Assalamualaikum,

This is what i wanna tell you about....Love has everything to do with friendship.

For me there has always been a distance a long stretch of something intangible
between desire and consummation.Someone else's words failed to catch me.I would let go and then he would let go but our hands didn't....

While some imitations of love should have nothing to do with friendship (but often do anyway), sincere, unconditional love should have everything to do with friendship.

When I first make someone's acquaintance I may be charmed by his wit, impressed with ideas he puts forward, or attracted to his overall personality, but it is not until I wish to communicate and start being open and generous that I can get to know him on a deeper level. While I feel that this point in a friendship is truly invaluable, I don't think that love can take these benefits away or cheapen the friendship.

Once you have taken the time and effort to get to know someone, love can't help but develop. Not lustful love, but unselfish love. I have several dear boyfriends. I would never date any of them and neither would any of them date me, but each knows that I love him dearly, and I know that each loves me. We may not keep in touch that often, but we don't have to--our love is unconditional, without that taking for granted that comes so often with familial relationships.

Love does not ruin a friendship--it makes it real.

And that's the wonderful thing about him, that every single day he makes for me a new moment when I realize all over again that he is my best friend. That, in the end -- that is how I know.

He's the only thing I've met so far too dear to take for granted.
