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.

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

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. |
