They started off as friends
Everything was perfect
Well what they assumed to be perfect
Everyday was spent together or on the phone
Nothing could tear them apart
No relationship or family member came between the two of them
Some would say their relationship was too much
Between them nothing was wrong
They never actually dated
It was talked about at one point but no action was taken
Then everyday turned into every other day
Every other day turned into once a week
Once a week turned into once a month
And just like that the friendship was fading
Fading into what some may say ghosting
They never intended for their friendship to die but over time it did
It faded into just happy birthday and holidays
They became distance
Who would have thought something that was once so strong could become a memory
Someone failed
They both lost their fire for each other for each other
Over time they tried to build what they lost but the flame kept dying
Shortly after one friend realized they loved the other
They loved them way too much but knew being together could ruin it all
Ruin the friendship that was forming to become something strong
Something so strong that nothing will break it again
What if they were to be together
What if this new flame was to turn into something deeper
What if they just both lived in the fear of losing it all
What if it took losing it all to gain it all back one hundred times better
Their friendship will never die
With every friendship there is a relationship
With every relationship is hardship
With every hardship is a battle that needs to be fought
Are they willing to even try or just stay in the comfort
Stay in the comfort of being friends
