A kiss worth waiting for
Her lips like petals from a fragrant rose.
Whether we have come together
Rightly, or wrongly,
We are here,
She in her world, I in mine,
Together

At night when slumber calls,
I lose myself,
We have constructed a world
Independent of kith or kin.

Our world is as unlimited,
As our thoughts can carry us,
Infinity stretches beyond our desires,
We have boundless possibilities,
To let our passions grow.

I have deep, deep feelings for you,
Some would call that love,
I’ll not argue the fine points.

lovely, the ending made me smile....enjoyed.
sometimes, the closeness of a female can be more rewarding then an intimate relationship...I've had that friendship with a male, a lifelong friend...the rewards are many....but sometimes we cross over that line, mistaking that friendship for what it isn't or can never be, and you lose that valuable friendship.

Couldn't have said it any better, my friend, and I agree with you completely. A friend, in depth, is a wonderful thing, no matter who it may be.  It's a special thing.

Great piece!

Ahhh . . . How right you are, Lee J concerning the  relationship between a man and a woman without finalizing it with sex. And I am here to tell you it was FANtastic!
