From Benefit Friends To Romantic Couple

Being friends with benefits
Isn't such a perfect fit
When one wants to be exclusive
But the other one wont give
Permission for this to grow
Into something more that flows
Between two hearts stitched together
Being stubborn they will never
Notice the look in your eyes
Saying that you want to tie
Your love up like a grand gift
They just need to gently lift
The lid that is blocking theirs
Releasing all the hurt and fears
Stopping commitments so true
Like the one inside of you
Patiently you softly urge
Their scared heart to slowly merge
And meet with the warmness of
Your caring and sweet soft touch
That will clear out all the demons
Never having a good reason 
To leave--causing no more pain
Till it was showed how to gain
Trust that will always be there
Giving love without the fear

I would not know much about this kind of thing, robin. but it reminds me of that movie when Harry Loved Sally. Is that the title? It's sweet when friends can become lovers!
