Why do so many ppl think that friends are a second-rate version of romance? True-Blue friends are to be cherished. They accept you unconditionally, without all the complications and expectations that accompany romance. Thanks, Ray, for your observant comment! : -)

Thank you, Louis. In my experience, some things are best left at friendship, although in rare cases friendship can turn into something else. But true friends are like gold, and you can't have too many of them! : -)

A friend, a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on... oftentimes, a friend is so much much better than romance which always bring tears and heartaches! Be lucky if you have a friend.... well written poem.10+

Thanks, Chito. I think sometimes that we have unrealistic, unmet expectations when it comes to romance. But since the pressure is off in a 'mere' friendship, often these friendships are surprisingly much more rewarding. Romance can really complicate things. (Plus, romance is way overrated!) : -)
