Lovers aren't always best of friends: Too much, sometimes, lies between their sheets. In fact they need a friend to share the sweets And sorrows of a love that always ends. Love that lasts is love that's more than passion: A wedding of true friendship and desire. Some might fear a certain loss of fire, But pleasure is ignited by compassion. You're the one in whom I most confide, The inner ear I talk to through the day, The flesh I need when I must have my way, The world where I am home when I'm inside. And even more, I find my pleasure, too, From seeing the delight you take in me, The comfort, quiet joy, and ecstasy That it is my gift to give to you.
