We started out just as friends,
a little chatting every now and then.
It was all very innocent.

Late at night when we felt alone
and no body else was at home,
it was so easy just to pick up the phone.

I'd hear your voice on the end of the line
and then everything would be just fine.
You were there for me every time.

We weren't looking for anything more.
No way to know what fate had in store.
Then feelings came that we never had before.

Suddenly the phone was not enough.
I wanted you close enough to touch.
At night, it was you I was dreaming of.

We knew others would not understand,
but we were certain it was in God's plan.
Now we go through life walking hand in hand.

I'm so glad that we started out as friends.

Friendship is always full of surprises, isn't it?  I enjoyed this much.

For you it was via the phone, now people are finding their true loves via the internet...that you were friends first, was a fine way to start. Very interesting and enjoyable write, indeed.

The beginning of lasting Love always seems to start with the open sharing of true feelings found in close friendships.

Friends into lovers, thats how it happens : )
Although sometimes people avoid starting a relationship because they say "we're too good of friends, lets not ruin the friendship". Im glad it all worked out for you!!
