Being friends is about sharing our lives with others. There are some aspects of our lives that require that we spend a lot of time together or a lot of writing to help convey our feelings. Other times sharing only a few words are more than adequate. It is not always the long conversation that conveys the deepest feelings. Sometimes, longer modes of expression may seem redundant and lacking in profundity. Putting just the right combination of words on paper in a succinct style may just hit the spot.

When will it end
Will i ever stop crying
Tears come like a flood
that’s never goin to dry up.
The rooms empty, all except for me.
Will i ever know why I fall asleep crying at night.
Just the feeling of being alone
makes me shudder.
A constant war goin on in my body,
everyday, every second.
When will it end.
Feelings take over my body
like i have no control.
First Im happy, then Im sad,
then all of a sudden Im crying.
It’s pretty sad that the frineds you live with,
talk about you behind your back.
For me it feels like when you lie down on those rafts in the water
and you drift away. But for me, i don’t come back.
I just keep drifting into space.
I don’t mean to sound desperate,
but will someone please tell me
when my tears will dry.
When will it end

Falling out of love happens in the same manner. Before you know it, that flame is gone, it just dies down. Why? Well, just like falling in love, we can’t tell what exactly causes it. You just know it…..you feel it and you cant argue with it.

In any given relationship, the flame of love dies down at a given point. In fact, the real question should be, between the two of you, whose flame dies down first? You see, it’s part of human nature. We adapt and we evolve, we tend to change with the environment. The forces that encourage such change are all around us and we cant stop it. No one is really to blame, its just the way things are.

So, how do you make a relationship work? How do you make it last? Two words; Commitment and Responsibility. No, its not a commitment to love that person, but rather the commitment to be part of the betterment of the other individual. You don’t commit to the love but rather commit that you will be part of the growth of your partner. And please take note that it should be both ways, because if it is only one way, its not a relationship. It’s more like an illness or a psychological problem. As for responsibility, you should be responsible for your commitment and not for the other person. And, in order to maintain both, all you need is maturity. You see, this is what makes most real relationships last. As the other person improves and develops, you fall in love all over again, and the cycle goes on until there is no room left to fall out of love.
