Spesis Luar Biasa?

The usual saying, which goes more or less like this:

"Lovers come and go, friends stay forever"

or another which sounds something like...

"Boyfriends/Girlfriends are easy to find, but true friends aren't"

OK, gila bullcrap and tak sedap ayat aku tu, but you do get the gist of it kan? I can't remember the exact Shakespearean structure of it, but it goes along that line.

Hmm... I'd have to say that the above two statements are not that valid anymore, when you actually come to think of it.

How about when a *God-send bloke/chick comes along your way, and it actually jeapordizes (did I get the spelling rite???) your friendship with your best buddy?

The normal feedback:

#1. How can you actually let some random guy/girl get in the way of your valuable friendship??

#2. How can you even have the nerve to choose him/her over our friendship??

It's SO TRUE that your friends are the ones who become your confidante in times of a breakdown, the shoulder to cry on when your boyfriend dumps you, go through thick and thin with you and they even voluntarily prepare their ears for the worse - the dreaded recycled stories about you and your current or former beau, which you recite without fail.

But I guess there comes a time, when you reach a point in your life - like this point, now, when you approach your expiry date: quarter of a century; where you just need to choose that God-send bloke/chick. Yup, even if it means giving up your bestfriend (of the same gender that is).

Like babe, at the end of the day, I don't think you would wanna get married to your bestfriend, OR DO YOU??

I bet it bloody hurts. Especially when the friendship and the love relationship gets messy and blows outta proportion. OK. Crap. When your best buddy ends up with the guy/girl you LIKE. LIKE A LOT. LOVE maybe.

Your heart just accelerates downwards and it breaks into itty-bitty pieces.

It's like being hammered in the chest, and you're just waiting for your time to die. I guess you'd rather mampos than go thru that loadsa cow dung. I think I would, well at that particular moment jek kot. Huhuhuu...

I can't imagine being in that situation, but I know one thing for sure - I'd go nuts. Perhaps its true that only time will tell, whether the friendship will ever patch up and the bestfriends would just kiss and make-up (ewww..).

But how would we know if that so-called God-send cherubic other half of yours is worth the sacrifice?

Would we ever know pon? Kalau ade actuarial formula to determine the confidence interval of the worthiness of your beau/gf, I'd be the first to know. But takde laa beb. So, it's another f**king trial and error.

Double whammy crappiness.

What's your say?
