when lust-love is the attraction
and of course most often it is
its like slipping and sliding
down the most wonderful fun-filled
lustful slide where each
obstacle you come to is yet one more
physical high to survive
because you two are so into each
other nothing matters
except the highs
lust-love warps even the act of breathing
sensual and exciting
this high excitement carries
each of you
into an uncertain, but unafraid future
you worry not about anything
except climbing that next highest cliff
and swimming along on the ocean’s floor
or crawling over broken glass
nothing is unattainable
lust is passion, steamy lips
all secrets unfolded and explored

ahhh . . . like all things
even lust-love can grow cold
for most of the actors in the dance
and from the embers of hot passion
evolves . . . friendship
friendship takes a little time
to nurture and grow
it doesn’t burst on fire as does lust-love
it is friendship
some evolve into it quicker and easier
than others
and it is tricky
because the playground for friendship
is the same as it was for lust-love
so yeah, it is tricky
still if the bond is strong
you will find yourself thinking more
about pure friendship and what it means
and when you understand you have a true friend
though the memories
of what has gone on before
is still with you
they, over time began to dim
it takes awhile but one day
out of the blue
you truly understand
the friendship you have discovered
has a deeper meaning compared to
lust-love
with friendship
you have managed to save the love
sans the physical
something you never thought could happen
has happened

Jerry
I think you are on to something here. I believe the happiest couples are the ones that marry their best friend.
