love essay

the essay, errr... love blog from my honey.. :)


love borne out of friendship is probably one of the most natural and wonderful evolutions of the human experience. it is built on a firmly rooted starting point to explore yet another level of trust and understanding between two people who have outgrown the comforts of a constant companion, the vexations of a disquieting rift and the delights of a shared achievement. the change almost always catches everyone by surprise. in some instance, it comes when one denies the genuine pride over the other's accomplishments. in others, it comes when you try to choke up that urge to kiss the other in a moment of tenderness. still it comes in other forms of embarrassing circumstances and when someone so much as picks up the hint of glitter in our eyes, it takes us a moment to recover before we vehemently dismiss the charge. at that instant, we debate within ourselves the truth of that realization and when we finally come to accept the reality of that emotion---mutually, of course---we shall have reached the full circle of that transformation. mind you, it does not get any easier from that point on, it even appears to wan off in the absence of adoring gestures that normally come with ritual courtship. knowing the one you love from the standpoint of friendship deprives you of the pretense of romance and you tend to nudge each other on the side on those occasions of mushy intimacy, the honesty is simply too raw and the empathy need not be spoken.
