The Contridiction of Friendship and Love

Finding true friends is hard to come by so what happens when you realize that you may be falling in love with your close friend???

Friend or Lover?? Friendship is a form of love and a mutual respect for one another. Either or, you obviously have to like the person in which you share common interests with. The difference between a lover and a friend is that a lover requires a romantic and sexual involvement. It gets complicated when we realize that this friend is someone you are falling in love with. How do we deal with wanting more than the friendship? Do we risk loosing that friend by unveiling the truth with the chance they may not feel the same? Do we choose one way or the other? I came across a song performed by Carolyn Dawn Johnson “Complicated”, in which I feel is a good example of expressing these emotions.

Complicated Lyrics - Performed by Carolyn Dawn Johnson 
When you walk into the room,
I wanna find a hiding place.
We used to laugh, we used to hug, the way that old friends do.
But now, a smile and a touch of your hand,
Just makes me come unglued.
Such a contridiction, do I lie or tell the truth.
Is it fact or fiction,
Oh the way I feel for you.

So complicated, I'm so frustrated.
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay. 
Should I say it? Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh, I want you to know.
But then again, I don't. It's so complicated.

Oh..just when I think I'm under control.
I think I finally got a grip.
Another friend tells me that, 
My name is always on your lips.
They say I'm more than just a friend, 
they say I must be blind.
Well, I admit that I've seen you watch me 
from the corner of your eye.
Oh, It's so confusing. I wish you'd just confess. 
But think of what I'd be losing, 
if your answer wasn't yes.

So complicated I'm so frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay.
Should I say it, should I tell you how I feel.
Oh I want you to know, but then again I don't, It's so complicated.

Oh, I hate it. 'Cuz I've waited.
So long for someone like you
Oh, what do I do.
Oh should I say it.
Should I tell you how I feel.
I want you to know,but then again I don't.
It's so complicated..
It's so complicated..
It's so complicated.
Ohh..
