Trey Songz - Can't Be Friends
Thanks to PinBoard!
Talk about a lyrical portrayal of many a failed love story. Seems there is no definite reason why transforming a friendship to an intimate level often winds up being intense and short-lived. A once cherished, admirable connection crumbles leaving one or both wishing it never happened. Life goes on, hearts heal and emotions cool down, but the residual confusion and disappointment remain.
I've experienced the "why not proceed?" stage with a couple of friends and decided it best to maintain our friendship rather than ruin a lifelong connection. This isn't a sly way to reject someone, nothing could be further from the truth. Honestly, this happened when I knew the affection and attraction I felt was strong and any speed bump would make me immediately retreat. I've pondered whether it's an excuse, protection mechanism, etc. but simply concluded it's just the opposite, to maintain a connection of importance to me. I tend to think women feel this way more often than men when mutual admiration is involved, perhaps they just conceal it better.
I'm not opposed to it because things work out when they're meant to be. Over the years I've gained a better grasp of what I need and want relationship-wise, not to mention what I'm willing to risk to obtain the reward, resulting in a source of clarity rather than a burden.

No doubt there are a myriad of reasons to leave a good, non-physical connection just the way it is, but have you ever taken the plunge to see what would result? Was it a positive experience (even it didn't last)? Would you do it again?

She done cut me off from a good good love
She told me that those days were gone
Now I'm sitting here going half crazy
I know she still thinks about me too
There ain’t no way in hell, that I can be just friends with you
I wish we never did it
I wish we never loved it
I wish I never felt so deep in love with you and now ain't no way we can be friends.
The way it felt, no faking it
Maybe we were moving just a little too fast
What we've done we can’t take it back
Now I’m sitting here half way crazy
Ain't no telling’ what we could have been,
Ain't telling what we could've been
If I knew it would end like this
I never would have kissed ya, 'cause I fell in love with ya
We never would've kicked it, 'cause now everything's different
I lost my only lover and my friend that's why I wished we never did it
