Friendship is great, like in a dream.
It grows towards the light and keeps you propped up,
like only a mature tree
always sheltered from wind and weather.
​
Without wanting to curtail the other,
wants to reach its full maturity.
Friendship cannot be fooled,
he is there to enrich each other.
​
Friendship is... wanting to be there for the other,
when it really needs your warmth.
Even though you've just broken up,
you do it with love and giving.
​
Friendship is also to be known,
to the depths of your soul.
People are happy with you the way you are,
angry, sweet, strong or fragile.
​
To love and deeply love each other
is not for everyone.
But about friendship is to begin with
then not a single word was said.
​
It gets pretty complicated
when there should only be room for eroticism.
Your essential existence is thereby ignored
and love becomes a source of pain.
​
When friendship of one may not grow,
because the other has already been touched by Cupid,
nothing else gets a chance to bloom
and the friendship is also ended.
​
Not because people no longer enjoy each other.
People are generally more afraid
not being able to deal with this kind of grief
and the interests of both are compromised.
​
There is no such thing as a feeling of happiness
or an overdose of heat that harms.
Consciously omitting that does a lot of damage.
As if friendship benefits from that.
​
When happiness turns to suffering,
when you are no longer allowed to receive any heat,
then the roads had better part,
than to keep longing for it in vain.
​
Let it go, let it go is the motto.
Find a sea to shed your tears.
