We started out as friends and now it's love. How beautiful to move so easily From comradeship to passionate intimacy, Pure gain, with no rough edges to remove. This turn was nothing I'd been thinking of, No maybes or perhapses, consciously. I knew desire, but love was not for me Until I felt my heart from friendship move. I never felt so happily at home As I do now, so rich in what life brings. Your pleasure now is mine, as mine is yours. I never realized that my life alone Flitted like a ghost among dead things, Glancing in through other people's doors.
