Well, it works for many people, including me, so yeah.
Anyway, came across something on FB thanks to my special friend here and I thought I would share it here, and also translate it.
Tho it may lose its epicness in the translation from Chinese to English.
Chinese is a great love language, especially for emo love. XP
Enjoy. And Learn something from it.

做不成男女朋友，做个特别的朋友
两个可能彼此相爱、喜欢的人，
但是，又不属于友情、爱情、亲情中的任何一种，
彼此不能成为男女朋友，只能做个特别的朋友……
也许是为了朋友之间的义气，不能归属。
也许是为了顾及家人的意见，不能归位。
也许是为了自己的前程，不能承诺。
也许是相遇太早，还不懂得珍惜对方。
也许是相遇太晚，彼此身边已经有了另一个人。
也许是回头太迟，对方已不再等待。
也许彼此在捉摸对方的心，而迟迟无法跨出界线……
不过即使没在一起，
彼此仍能找到塌实的感觉，
仍然会保持不隶属任何一种感情的关系。
但是彼此心底清楚，
对这个人，你比朋友还多了一份关心。
因为有了彼此，心里总是被幸福塞的满满的……
即使不能彼此名正言顺的牵着手逛街，
还是可以做无所不谈的朋友。
彼此有喜欢的人，口头上会说不吃醋，
心里却会觉得胃疼……
对方遇到困难时，
会尽全力伸出援助之手，
不会计较谁又欠了谁。
对方生病了，
会缴尽脑汁找药方，
恨不得变成护士，陪伴在身旁……
每个人这辈子，
心中都有过这幺一个特别的朋友，
很矛盾的行为。
一开始可能不甘心只做朋友的，
但久了，突然发现这样最好。
宁愿这样关心对方的心情，
总好过彼此生活在一起受伤害……
做不成男女朋友，
当个特别的朋友，
有什么不好呢？
你心中的这个特别的朋友...? 是谁呢
很多的感情，
都败在了现实的面前……
友情可以演变成为爱情，
爱情最终进化成为亲情，
彼此就将友情直接进步到亲情……
人生不过百年……
能牵手的时候，请别只是肩并肩，
能拥抱的时候，请别只是手牵手，
能在一起的时候，请别轻易分开，
能成为红颜知己，请别刻意离开！
珍惜彼此之间塌实的感觉
Fail to be a boy/girl friend, be a special friend instead.
Perhaps both can love the person they like.
Yet, it isn't frenship, romantic love, family love, or any kind of it.
Both cannot be a boyfriend/girlfriend, only becoming a special friend.
Perhaps it is the loyalty between friends that is the limit
Perhaps it is the worry of what others say, that limits it to "friend".
Perhaps it is due to ones own future, that prevents such promises
Perhaps we met too early, still unable to appreciate one another
Perhaps we met too late in life, already having someone else by our sides.
Perhaps we were too slow, unable to turn back, the other has grown tired of waiting.
Perhaps both were too elusive to each others hearts, unable to cross the boundaries...
However, despite being unable to be together,
Both are able to find that peace of mind,
Yet it isn't affected by any sort of relationship.
But of course, both know within the bottom of their hearts,
to this special person, you care for them more than JUST a friend...
Thanks to this, our hearts are always filled with happiness to the brim...
Although we can't walk the streets hand in hand,
We're still able to remain as a friend, with many advantages.
Loving someone, we shall not say we are jealous on the outside,
Yet, on the inside, we are sour within our hearts ...
When our "special" friend accounters hardships,
We'll try our best to help,
Not being petty. Not keeping in mind who owes who.
When she/he falls sick,
We'll go beyond limits to find the remedy,
Being the super nurse that stay by her/his side,
Everyone in this life,
Definitely has that special someone within their hearts.
A very contradictory thing,
Unable to accept the fact that we are only friends at the beginning of rejection,
Yet, after a long period, understanding that this is better, to remain friends.
Willing to care for her/his heart and feelings,
is always better than to live together, both being hurt,
at the fact that we are, unable to be a couple.
Being a special friend,
whats the bad in that?
So, who's that special someone?
Many feelings and emotions,
fail when facing cruel reality,
friendship, can act out to be a romantic relationship,
and the romantic relationship can act out to be a family-love
Life of us puny humans rarely go beyond a hundred years,
When you can hold hands, please do not merely go shoulder by shoulder,
When you can hug, please don't just hold hands,
When we can be together, please do not simply separate,
When one is a confidante, do not deliberately leave,
Always treasure the feeling of peace of mind that both of you share.
-END-
Yish, chinese was more epic, and of course, google translate helped me a little, but not the whole thing, else it looks weird.
So, do you have a special friend?
Or, many of them?
Ciao~!
=)
