Love and Friendship

"I love you" I said to her after looking to her face for while. She smiled and said:
-I love you too, you're my love.
I embraced her and said: You're my love and my friend.

She looked at me and said: Friend? why do you call me friend?
I said: Because I feel our friendship is strong as our love.
She asked: Do you think there is difference between our love and our friendship?
I said: Oh yes........huge difference.

She kept silent for while and then she asked me: What is the difference between love and friendship?
I said: Friendship is democracy and love is dictatorship.
-How?
I said: friendship is democracy where you are allowed to have any quantity of friends. Those friends have the right to accepting you, agree with you or disagree with you, meeting you or running away from you, All of these are decisions that you or any of your friends can decide freely.

-And what about love?
I said: Love is the dictatorship, you get only one dictator-I mean lover- all your rights are his rights, all your time are his time, all your thoughts are his his thoughts and even you see life by his eyes and see by yours.

She said, What? What? I didn't think love is like that! Can't I have time for myself if I'm in love?
I said: When you're in friendship, you can have all the time for yourself by just staying away from your friends, but when you are in love, you will find your lover with you everywhere, even if you are alone. It's dictatorship as I told you before.

She said: OK, Now I understand, but do you think I'm a dictator?
I laugh and said: Absolutely. You a great dictator and I'm you eternal dictator.
