Lovers may be - and indeed generally are - enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.
Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time.
I just like that dynamic in relationships in movies where they're kind of lovers as rivals, you know?
If one of two lovers is loyal, and the other jealous and false, how may their friendship last, for Love is slain!
Friends are sometimes boring, but enemies never.
Men and women can absolutely be friends, and that's what we need to be. Part of the problem is that we aren't friends enough. Our relationships are negotiations, and that is not friendship.
People aren't defined by their relationship. The whole point is being true to yourself and not losing yourself in relationships, whether romances or friendships.
The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.
Eventually you love people - friends or lovers - because of their flaws.
It's good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.
