We set the rules when we began
friends, just friends
and that was fine with me
to fall in love was far from free
and my pockets these days
much too empty to afford
a treat like you.

I picked your brain
and soaked up every bit of you I could
in turn I gave you smiles
we laughed, oh how we laughed
we teased and flirted
and it was all the more fun
cause it was safe
we were friends,
just friends.

I didn’t mean to, but I fell in love
with you, my friend
but we had set the rules
before we began
and we both knew that
we never could
I just needed you
more than I should.

You helped me grow
past my dependence
friends we remained
and I don’t want that to end.
I want to see you smile someday.
When we both turn gray
I still want to be your friend.
I want to see your miracles
come true.
And if it’s possible in this life
that is so unfair, that they
might not…I want to be there
for you, like you were for me.
We are friends, just friends
we set the rules before we began.

Zoe, "Friends, just friends" is quite a comment...

friends are never "just"....they are usually far, far more...

enjoyed!

This is so absolutely delightful, Doreen! Truly a wonderful tribute to a great relationship. You do the sweet, strong, painful with equally wondrous skill and passion. So enjoyed this!

I'm sure glad I told you through email how much I love this poem... and how completely I relate to it... for after Sybil getting HELP in her name confusion, I can't quit laughing! LOL (psssst VAS... the waters are muddied enough without giving her still ANOTHER identity! LOL)

Seriously, Sybil (and no, I couldn't resist... I tried. *G*) this is wonderful... The last verse is a prayer for us both. *S*

(Note to Girl Scouts: Send cookies! LOL)

Wow, I enjoyed this very much, I sent it as a card to my dear friend. This very much says the words I have been unable to find so far for my friend. Well done.
