This is a first for me.
We've opened the door
to more
once we'd already learned each other,
seen each other,
known each other.
(Though there's more to discover,
of course.
In fact,
each time
I offer you a peek
into a new corner
of my terrain,
it feels like
the greatest gift
I've ever received-
to have you know me.
It's unmatched
only by the gift
of allowing me
to know you.)
So anyways,
I don't know the rules here.
The how-to book
on falling for your friend
must be checked out at the library
because I'm at a complete loss
as to what to make
of these feelings.
Is this too fast?
too much?
will it change?
will it grow?
all I know is
more and more these days
those three words
skitter through my mind
what am I to do!
I can't help it!
