Friendship
The Bench by the River
The Bench by the River Every Sunday morning, without fail, Henry came to the same bench by the river. He wasn’t a man of many habits—he lost most of them when his wife passed away five years ago—but this ritual remained. The bench sat under a weeping willow whose branches kissed the water when the wind was gentle. Birds chattered nearby, and occasionally a jogger would nod at him as they passed. But Henry didn’t come for the company.

"The Myth of Pure Friendship Between Men and Women"
Shakespeare once said, "A boy can never be just a friend to a girl because emotions and desire are always involved." Though there is no direct attribution of these exact words in his written works, this quote reflects a timeless observation many have echoed throughout literature and life: that the relationship between a man and a woman is rarely devoid of emotional complexity.
