gold versus diamond

a friend of mine once said that friend is like gold while love is like diamond..
and then i asked:
"so, is it mean that your love is more precious than your friend"

he replied:
"noooooooooo....
the meaning is when a friendship breaks, you can fix it.. just like gold.. when it breaks, you can melt it and have the same shape.
while if your love relationship breaks, your heart break, or you break your love's heart, it will be like diamond.. you wont be able to re-attach into the same form without leaving any mark.. even though it looks the same from outside, still there are some cracks inside.."

i am sorry for breaking your diamond..
