You were saying...
the things you miss about Love
once you've experienced it
it left your life on the wings of a dove
once you appreciated it

You were asking... (with a smile)
How come in all the years
from the beginning of our friendship
how come through all the tears
and happiness that re-mends it

You wondered...
How come through all this
and how close we've always been
and with the occasional friendly kiss
from friend to loving friend...

I said...
And all the times we cried together
when the other needed a shoulder
to whisk away on eagles feather
in weakness, each others boulder...

We smiled...
I've always liked you
just never really said
me too, but never thought to say
even slept in each others bed

We paused...
But nothing ever happened
did you ever wonder why?
we never got distracted...
in all the many times

We stopped...
And just sort of sat there
looking into each others eyes
then something started to happen
of all things, I got the butterflies

You moved...
And without a second thought
leanded forward and gave me a kiss
I could'nt think or move or talk
it never felt quite like this...

Time froze...
Our lips together, just barely touching
eyes closed and nothing to say...
opened our eyes to see each other blushing
but niether pulled far away

It happened again...
I grew weak in the knees
my heart began to flutter
I think I hit 200 degrees
I felt weak, like melting butter

Again we paused...
Backed up, eyes wide, gazing deep
"I've never felt like this before"
"me niether, kinda funny, and very weak"
holding hands, trembling, with this friend I adore

Together, at the same moment,
while we were exchanging smiles
we looked at the other and said...
"I Love you" in a way we never have before.< !signature-->

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

I guess the only thing to say is that I really really enjoyed this one...

Isnt it funny how you can find the best love right when you least expect it? And in the eyes of your friend?

ThUnDeRkYsS~

No matter what happens in your future -

You wrote of it very sincerely.
Such an enjoyment.

If only we could capture a moment like this and put it inside a bottle to use everyday like perfume, so the fragrance of the moment would last forever!!! Wonderful poem!!!Sometimes we have love there right before our eyes without knowing it...

Oh geeeeze, all I know to give you is one long **breathless sigh** to show you how much I liked this!  Talk about poetic romantic perfection...I am definately keeping an eye out for more of your work, this is the first one I've read of yours...I've been gone awhile, but it's poetry like this that makes me glad to be back!  **sigh again!**  Btw, I really liked the way you styled and formatted your stanzas...it really added to the way this read - almost like I could feel the "pause" between the couple, and the magic...Wow.
