Relationship vs friendship

Which is better and why do they always seem to collide?

Nobody seems to win..it ultimately ends up one or the other and occasionally both..things get serious and you fall in love and just want to be with that person always..and your friends feel like they are being left behind and second best..this may not have been my relationship but mine didnt work out and i always think if i had of paid more attention to my relationship i'd still be in it..not that i'd trade my friendships..see the dilemma? it seems to just be one or the other..

Maybe it all comes down to jealously? Jealously of someone having something you dont? Jealous that a friend thinks higher of someone else?

Maybe its just change..not everybody likes change. When a friend starts being around less it becomes harder to find someone to talk to..have fun with and just be there?

Maybe its fear?..The fear of losing someone? Losing a friend..losing the security of having someone that is always available when your upset..

But whats worth it in the end? Your with someone who loves you and ultimately becomes your best friend..the person who knows you inside out and you can vent to..

People just surprise you..when you think you can trust them they go and prove you cant..in friendships and in love..when you think you have someone you can confide in they prove you cant..when you give someone your heart they give it back..or shatter it..

so basically..i think ur dammed if you do and ur damned if you dont..you cant just live in a cave because ppl will treat you like dirt from time to time..thats the game of life and its shit sometimes..you can just learn from your mistakes and not make them twice..
