Friends

We laughed for hours today
talking about the old times
when we were in love
how funny things are now

Remembering the canoe trip
you flirted and splashed me
we laughed until we cried
when our food floated down stream

We talked about the things we did
how we loved each other for years
and how we hurt each other
in the end

But, still we are friends
and make jokes about
where things went wrong
It was your fault...no it was yours
laughing the whole time

Both of us had such pride
now life has humbled us
and we just don't give a crap

We talked of our relationships
since then
and the strange attractions
that have drawn us in

We talked of our children
how they have grown
into beautiful young adults
and we praised each other
on jobs well done

I could see your chest swell
when you spoke of your grandchildren
and the love you have when you showed me pics

You laughed at how I still can't tell jokes
how my gestures with my hands flying
and eyes glowing when I tell a story
still pull you in

How fun it was remembering
and hearing you comment
"your just you
and haven't changed a bit"

We talked of life and growing older
what will happen when

And, still yours eyes sparkle
as did mine
when we looked at each other
and flirted with our smiles
when you touched me
I could feel it again
the shock...the spark
it was there and you commented
because you felt it too

So we made plans to canoe
I am looking forward to it

I am so glad your still my friend
Is this where love begins?
Or did it ever end?
