Can ex-lovers really be friends afterwards?

At the end of a romantic relationship, is it really possible for lovers to become friends? or is it impossible to hope for that thing after the romance has gone.

Now come to think of it, can lovers really become friends after their relationship?

For me..
It depends on the level of friendship that we've established in the relationship in the first place, as well as the emotional maturity that each person is bringing into the relationship.In order for ex-lovers to really be friends, their initial interaction and maturity levels need to be taken into consideration.
