There's no point in trying anything when it doesn't exist. People throw around the word, or say what they have with someone else is "true love" and then go and hurt that person, have a disagreement and up and leave. That isn't love. That's using a word.

Friendship comes and goes; sometimes you have a falling out or you lose contact and don't speak to each other. You can reconnect though, and have no strings attached to worry about. Sure, there can be jealousy but if you're close enough it won't matter. I'd rather have friends I care about then having someone tell me something like they love me when they really don't.
