sometimes it is not always about love...

why is it when we see a man and a woman who seem 'close', we often wonder if they're in a relationship or not? or if they're dating? or if they're in love?

i have to admit though, i too am guilty of thinking of those stuffs. but lately, it made me realize that when a man and woman are together, it does not necessarily follow that they're more than friends. coz you see, it is possible they're JUST friends.. it is!

i have this guy friend whom i've become really close to. we started out as a 'loveteam' but not the real kind. it was just for fun. to make someone, who we think likes him, jealous. it was just a test to confirm our suspicions. but the thing is, this guy and i became genuinely friends... we talk almost every night. we would always have good laughs and great conversations. he is easy to talk to. we do not censor things to talk about. it is almost like conversing to your soulmate...

it's been almost 2 years of a great friendship. i guess we have become very comfortable with each other. or maybe too much that people around us started teasing us. but we are good sport. we would ride along.. we never take it seriously. maybe because we both know where we stand in each other's lives, so there's really no need for the awkward drama. we actually talk about it, how people acts so weird, trying to make sure we are seated next to each other. or how we feel being stared at everytime we talk. or how they assume like there is an 'us'. we just shrug it off. no reaction. but at some point, i lost it. i panicked for awhile. he has a girlfriend, so i guess that's why. i would not want to be branded as somebody's mistress! excuse me! hehehe but he assured me no one is thinking like that. or that there's no rumor going around about us. and that he's there for me. he even told me our best defense is to keep them guessing... but is it really? for a time, i did stay away from him. to tone down whatever that is going around... perhaps damage control. but eventually i loosened up. i realized, i am not guilty of doing anything wrong, so why sacrifice our friendship, right? so we were normal again...

this guy and i just share the same wavelength. i guess that's why we are very comfortable with each other. but we have never took a step beyond the boundary of our friendship... we never even attempted to. we are two people enjoying each other's company. and with that, we are satisfied with the relationship that we have, as friends.
