“I love you”

After guy number three

I gave up on love

Then I herd an

“I love you”

From a friend

That saw me

Through bad and good

Who could always

Make me smile through tears

Surprised

I was,

Both shy

And scared

All friends giving

The thumbs up

“Go for it”

Not sure exactly

How this would go

If it would hurt

This strong friendship

Then

After many late night phone calls

Sharing our

Good

Bad and

Ugly

Days

With laughter and some tears

My shyness and fear

Just drifted away

Because a friendship this strong

Nothing could break through

Now I have also said and believe that

“I love you”
