Cupid Stay Your Arrow

Cupid Stay Your Arrow

We met so long ago as friends
Talking and sharing we learned about each other
We shared tastes of our meals
Spending many night watching movies until the sun came up
Even when no one was around whispers often replaced normal conversation
A few kisses were given and received
A sign of our unconditional affection
Some feelings were spoken
Others were always kept to ourselves
Locked in hearts wanting so bad to state the obvious
What would we lose if the truth was ever spoken?
What if our love was known?
The possibilities are so exquisite and yet so frightening
An eternity of love or the loss of a friend
Both are too much to risk when I look in your eyes
So, all I ask of the gods above is to have one blessing
Cupid, stay your arrow this one time
Do not make of love grow
We are perfect as friends and that is all we should be
So please stay your arrow and allow us to be happy
Just this once
