Penetration Changes Everything

When we meet again, so will our eyes. Inside of his will be the possiblity of it all. Long time no see, friend, his will speak without words. Inside of mines will be the look of betrayal. The kind of look you give your best friend after you've finally found out she ain't exactly your best friend. I'm not just talking about the anger you throw her with your eyes that seem to want to cut her like a knife. I'm also talking about the pain, the hurt, the thoughts you've been wanting to speak. What happened to us? My eyes will read. They'll read the words I cannot say, only, they'll read a little more.
We used to be the kind of friends they said it was impossible to have. Said it was impossible for a girl and a boy to be friends, cause they're opposites. Said eventually somebody is gonna break the ice, and cause the friendship to turn into much more. We never paid them any mind. We'd hang out all day and talk on the phone all night. When I finally told you I was celibate, you laughed. Thought it was impossible for any girl in this day and age to save her body for someone she feels is truly worthy. I laughed at the thought of you ever truly falling in love. Told you you were the type of person who couldn't fall in love because your heart never falls into anything. You told me I was right. We were the kind of friends my girlfriends envied. They'd catch us walking down the hall and twist their noses up. I loved hanging out and holding hands with you, 'cause it was funny watching outsiders assume and spread rumors. You and I, we had a good time together. A good time.
Now that it's over, I think of the next time I'll see you. You'll probably be wearing that red shirt that I hate, your haircut finally growing back. Our eyes are gonna connect, this I know for sure. And I'm gonna think to self, I'd trade anything in the world to regain what we once had. You are my lesson learned.
And so, the truth stands: Penetration changes everything.

So many people can relate to this situation. It's strange how sex can suddenly make your friendship go bad.

Friendships have all kinds of intimacies built into them...sharing secrets, sharing spoons at Dairy Queen, peeing in the same bathroom (maybe not with the opposite sex, but you know what I mean), etc. It's when THAT line is crossed that the friendship is redefined. And THAT line doesn't have to be penetration. I think it's different for everyone. Lesbians, for example, do not put much emphasis on penetration, for obvious reasons, but everyone definitely has a line where friendship intimacy ends and romantic intimacy begins. It's a shame that the relationship will never be the same, but it really is true, for a long time, anyway.
