You were my friend.

My good, old, friend, but I'd never thought of you as more.

I found you endearing; the ease with which you smiled 

and the flip of your unruly brown hair were charming,

but you were you, and I was me. 

But that night, you took my hand, you lead me into the clearing under the stars.

"I'll Be" echoed across the marsh, over the creek and to places far, far away,

connected to us by a few notes floating effortlessly through time.

We moved together in sync, thinking the same thoughts, I'm sure.

The old clock hung on the wall inside didn't budge, the hands had frozen for this moment.

My search was over, my weary bones had reached the peak.

I rested my head on you shoulder and you sighed.

"Did you know that this was going to happen?"

I asked you.

"I've been waiting for it my entire life," you said.

It was like a downpour in a drought, seemingly impossible. 

But sometimes the impossible things just make sense.

Author's Note

I know it's kind of cheesy, but I guess I'm just that kind of girl.

a lovely expression of the unexpected turns love can take~ the innocence and sincerity make this into a treasure for your treasured~

This is so sensitively drawn and due to your images and the close-focus, for instance, the

"ease with which you smiled
and the flip of your unruly brown hair"

and the natural, simplicity of the language which avoids the verbose, this doesn't sound cheesy as it could easily have done. The use of questions at the end is masterful because they are so engaging. A capitivating read which I especially like as my long-term boyfriend was previously one of my oldest friends.

Not cheesy at all. Magic occurs when friends turn into lovers

As always, I loved it! It's so sweet and sincere, not at all cheesy in my opinion. And funnily enough, your poems always seem to be about something I can relate to in my life that's happening right at the moment that I read it (if that makes sense!).

I don't think it's cheesy at all. I loved this. Far too many writes at this site are hard to read....this was over with too quick!!

That is my honest opinion. If it wouldn't have been good i would have said so.
