Shifting Love

Our story began as friends
sharing goals for our futures
talking, listening and laughing
like brothers and sisters

Our time spent together
is priceless beyond words
moments weโ€™ve cherished
letting down our guards

Then a revelation came
after seeing him last night
I saw the way he looked at me
and my heart took flight

Without any fair warning
something changed deep inside
I saw him in every tomorrow
until the end of time

Never do I want
our friendship to sever
Never have I felt
so much pressure

My thoughts are confused
My body, perplexed
What shall I do?
What happens next?

    This was great! If I changed the ‘him’ to ‘her’ I believe we would be speaking of Mom and I. Luv ya, Dad

    very well expressed how one might have to choose between friendship and love..Lauren. That is always a tricky situation for the coin might fall either way.

  4. Friendship is the foundation and the seal by which a strong relationship is romantically invested….my soul mate is my bestie to this day….loved this poem!

    1. I’m so glad you can relate, Celeste, and I’m happy for you, as I can say the same about my hubby and I! Thanks so much for your comment so well said, too! Hugs!

  5. This is so very much the way I felt during the time the friendship was turning into romance with my hubbie years ago! Wonderful poem. Very wonderful to celebrate a true love that starts very soundly (and very correctly, in my opinion) as a true friendship!
