Before a Lover a Friend

Before a Lover a friend. Before the trust, the laughter and comfortable period of not understanding. Before the holding hands, and whispers in the quiet corners, the excitement of the ringing of the phone. Before the glint of the moon or sunrise in loving eyes, the anticipation of the word hello. The butterflies and joyous sensation of the first meal, this as a friend knowing lovers will be. Shared together the time spent in our minds, words said and repeated still funny as if heard never said before. The night-time wish, morning greeting makes each day as new and better than before. Gifts given for no reason just to say your on my mind, the first kiss like a child on Christmas morning. On crescent waves of joy we go, though rains may fall together we share the umbrella of our love. From friend to lover we slowly move on, no rush for we took our time to know each other.
