R and S were both the same, yet totally different. When they were close, they were as close as if they were the same body and soul. When apart, you wondered if you could name them together in one sentence. R and S were friends, friends who had hated each other to begin with, but that hatred was only the first step to deep affection. R and S loved each other too, though neither of them ever accepted that, perhaps not even to themselves. Crushes were crushed with uncommunicated logic, and affection stayed. They looked good together, or so I always felt, but the retort was there were people they looked better with. And so they did. Life grew, they moved on and drifted apart. Both found love, both found friendship, both still had each other, albeit farther and farther. Years later they met again, both having lost their loves to time; their similarity stretched too far. And time brought them together again, and an unspoken love resurfaced and met completion, without the need of words. R and S were always meant for each other, or so the romantics would say.
What, then, is the moral of the cliched story?
Simply this, either it's friend and lover, or it's friend and over.
