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
