Cherished and Valuable

Cherished and Valuable

By Annette Camp

A relationship transitioning 

from romance to friendship 

is like exchanging gold for 

silver currency because both 

retain significant value, 

albeit in different forms. 

Gold, with its bright 

luster symbolizes the 

rare moments and 

intense affection, often 

passionate, found in a 

romantic relationship.

Silver carries its own 

timeless beauty, like a 

constant star, now 

expressed through the 

long-lasting light of 

expansive friendship.

The fiery dance of desire 

gives way to the gentle 

waltz of companionship, where 

the heart finds comfort in 

the familiar rhythms of shared 

laughter and understanding.

This shift represents a 

change in dynamics rather 

than a loss of worth. 

It is still preserving the 

meaningful connection

in a new steadfast way.

Thus, the bond continues, 

cherished and valuable, its 

presentation transformed. 

Its essence is unwavering, 

shining with a timeless, 

silvered grace.
