    FOR A FRIEND

    I sit and reminisce
    Oh, how we always dreamed
    The alley ways in Philly
    Our islands in the stream
    Holding one another
    Fighting against the wind of change
    Yet, here I am sifting thru
    Once Upon a Time's remains

    Sharing secrets with each other
    No one knew
    Kissing oh so tenderly
    As our feelings grew
    Yet, it seems as if the choice of
    Friend or lover had been made
    As our closeness grew
    Our love we forbade

    Yesterday, walking from my mother's house
    I saw U across the street
    There was no instant recognition
    As our eyes would meet
    Adults must trust in their ability 2 mature
    Why take the chance and open
    Long locked doors

    You hugged me
    And I felt love rush straight 2 my heart
    Holding you erased the years
    We'd been apart
    I looked into your eyes and
    Was forced 2 admit the truth
    I've been searching 4 love
    And here you were the proof

    As we spoke last night
    It felt as if we had not missed a day
    So eloquent and silky
    Was our Love Segue
    Preaching 2 myself
    Stay focused its been 20 years
    Yet, the Love I denied
    Was made a fool of by my tears

    We spoke as though afraid
    To wake feelings that slept
    I asked how could we live so close
    Yet for 20 years had not met
    You said quietly
    God has a plan 4 you and I
    At that moment I couldn't see my reflection
    Thru tear stained eyes

    As the conversation drifted
    We reluctantly agreed 2 sleep
    With mutual Blessings of continued health
    And God our Souls 2 keep
    As I paused 2 push end on my phone
    I realized I never felt so alone

    As I prepare 4 work
    I think of you today
    We must consumate our love
    Take a chance, come what may
    And if being in Love is not
    What is meant 2 be
    This time we shall be friends
    4 eternity

    NEVER again will
    I let you go
    And feel the chill
    Of sitting on the floor
    Watching you walk thru
    An opened door
    No, now you are back in my life
    I am aware how much I'm Blessed
    So 2 you today my Love
    I must confess
    As I end this text
    I LOVE YOU
