I thought I’d found my soulmate

you want to just be friends

I’ll work with that not to lose you

Though it’s only a pretense

The sight of you drives me wild

Unleashing passion and desire

That I’d forgotten I possessed

Setting my heart and soul on fire

You call it “friends without boundaries”

clear that’s all there will ever be

I am smitten by your quandaries

and the effect you have on me

I could see my self loving you

deeper in love than I have ever been

For now it’s just a daydream

And I will remain your friend

Life took us down different paths

So very long ago

We crossed roads again by accident

Not to fall in love, I know

I don’t know why I feel

So at home with you

I’ve had lovers who were real

Until they left me blue

I’m silly, giddy, and unashamed

To admit that you give me trembles

Unbridled feelings best left unnamed

While my heart tries to reassemble

Some part of the semi-hardened stone

It turned into long ago

After being dragged through the danger zone

Of lies, betrayals, and unbearable woe
