Friends Forever, Lover's for Life

When we first met I would have never thought we would end up where we are now
You were involved, I was involved and

We were just friends

Over the years we lost track of one another, we were living separate lives.
When our paths would cross, we picked up where we left off, like time had never passed.  You came to visit me when I moved away, we spent the whole time talking and laughing.

We were just friends

When we spoke that last day, I was going through it and you made me laugh and smile through it.  You were going through it and we talked for hours.  I was smiling when I got off the phone that last time and could feel the glow from the inside out.  She took one look at me and said “girl you better watch out he’s coming for you.” I didn’t believe it; I knew I was attracted, I thought you were happy where you were, besides

We were just friends

One day out of the blue your name came across my inbox, you found me again…
We emailed and the moment I heard your voice a smile came across my face.  You were going through it, and needed a friend.  We talked and caught up on what happened during the time that passed.  You needed to get out and have a good time, and I didn’t give you a choice.  Damn he looks good, was all I could think, still thinking,

We were just friends

We played pool, we joked, we flirted, we laughed, you took a chance, and kissed me.  In that instant I was in awe.  You stepped out of your comfort zone and told me how you felt, how you have felt about me, I was blown away
All this time you had that thought in your mind and here I thought

We were just friends…

We talked every day after that, several times a day for hours on end, never running out of things to talk about.  Things were changing; I didn’t want to see you as just a friend.
Tragedy struck, God called one of his soldiers to return home, he was a good man and a good friend, you were there to console me.  You held me tight to your chest and didn’t let go.  It was comfortable, I was secure and safe. Five till Five was created.

The snow came, help ran out and we bundled up and disappeared.  Life was quiet, full of fun, love and drama free.  The snow lifted and we spent our first New Year’s together and dropped a bomb on everyone.  It was the start of something new, something so beautiful, that words cannot even begin to describe it.

You were adopted by a little girl that loves you more than you can imagine.  You are loved by me more than I even knew was possible.  You were adopted into a group of friends, that at the time, you could not have known the magnitude of love those friends hold for you, until now. 
This group of friends are not just friends; they are family that is here to support us through our journey of life.

You are my friend, my rock, my fighter, my lover, my everything for sixty years or until death do us part, whichever is longer.


Friends for Ever, Lover’s for LIFE…
