“Can a person be friends with someone they love?”
“Yes, but one must remember that everything comes with a price.”
“What about the pain and hurt it will cause the person? What about the plethora of sadness it brings along?”
“Like I said, everything comes with a price. It depends upon us if we can and are willing to pay the price or not.”
"What is the price?"
"Well, you see them with another person at the same coffee shop you went with them three months ago, and it makes you cringe on the inside but you're 'friends,' so you pay the price of upholding that smile, telling them you're happy for them.
You feel you've been lifelong friends and decide to preserve the bond for the sake of the memories, but all you can notice is how their eyes sparkle when they speak, how their lips curl when they smile. So there you are, paying the price, bearing the pain of wanting someone you know you shouldn't be wanting anymore."
"Then what should one do in such a case? Should one hold on, continue to be friends, and get hurt every freaking day, or should one let go and free themselves from the pain it causes?”
“It is never, I repeat never, ever a good idea to hurt yourself. So, ideally, one should let go. But it all depends upon the person. Some hold on. Others, they let go. What happens with you is what you choose for yourself. Watching them with someone new may throttle your heart, but it also gives you a head start to do the same for yourself. People aren't blockages preventing us from moving on, our minds are," my reflection smiled and said.
