Friends and Lovers

When did it first happen
When did it first start
My friend becomes a lover
A lover with a friendly heart
It's all so new and fresh
It doesn't feel quite true
That all the time we were mates
And now I see a new you

Don't you think it's reckless
I feel like such a fool
We could've been doing the breastroke
Instead we just paddled in the pool
It's all so strange and quirky
It doesn't feel quite right
That instead of veiwing the picture
We've only just discovered sight

Can we trust this new thing
Would it be a sin
My friend who's now a lover
Wants me to jump right in
It's all a bit peculiar
It doesn't seem quite sure
That all the time I've known you
You were really the only cure

Why am I asking questions
Don't I trust my heart
My friend who's now a lover
Tells me this is where we start
It's all mad and very odd
It doesn't seem quite real
That ever since I've known you
My heart you'd set to steal.

nicely written Marsha ... I've know a couple of people that this happened to ... and It tends to lead to a lasting relationship

Thanks MA so glad you liked it

Rex, as always your praise excedes my ability, but thanks anyway. I too know a couple this happened to and yes they are still together.

Thanks James, sometimes though it doesn't work out like that. But when it does it's magic!
