Only Friends

it felt like fire being in her arms but the tighter i held on the colder she became it tasted like home her lips on mine but the more i longed for her the more strange she was it felt like love the time i spent with her but the time passed by and i realized we were only friends

I can tell you a quote Aristotle used twice for two different subjects. " Love is one soul in two bodies" "A friend is one soul in two bodies" I think it the greatest instances of each both of these definitions are valid, and we love our true friends, a love that if compared to a social/sexual/living companion/ whatever relationship that would leave us saying, I realized we were only lovers and not friends. I liked your poem Nice work.

Hm, a victim of lust mixed w/a "need" for love. But, not love itself. This is why lust, as powerful as it is, is very short-lived. I understand this piece very well. Excellent job!
