Can love survive without friendship? Can friendship live without love? Both are a part of the same coin. Relationships, specially the ones between lovers/spouses die not because of death of love but because of disappearance of friendship. When affection vaporizes, the heart is but an organ. And organs do not have the capacity to feel anything, leave aside the warmth of love.
Of course the love for your friend will be quite different from the love for your lover, but its all a matter of degrees. Perhaps here in the second case, comes the element of physical attraction to begin with but in the end just this factor alone cannot make love survive. Our everyday existence is overflowing with instances of this. Man is a feeling animal. He is a spiritual being. He thrives on emotional attachment. That’s why two machines cant stay forever together. They detach.
Before being a lover, be a friend. Before being a spouse be a friend. Before falling in love, rise in friendship. Love might make the world go around; but Friendship will make love come full circle as if each moment with him/her is like the first “hello”!

i believe that its true that love & friendship appears to be the sides of same coin... but as it happens love has much more complexities than friendship. true love is timeless, eternal and unbounded and yes it is very hard to realize u r in true love until u really are. the line between love and friendship is not feeble.
it is equally true that before understanding true love we need to understand compassion, empathy, forgivness & FRIENDSHIP
