Intimate Friend

I’m not sure
Whether it was
Coincidence
Or providence
That brought
Us together,
But from moment
I met you,
Being with you
Always seemed
So incredibly natural
And easy.
We started out
As two crazy kids,
Each afraid
Of getting hurt,
Tentative in our trust,
But there was
No denying
That the chemistry
Was there,
And we
Quickly became
Best friends
And more.
It was your smile,
Your way of
Laughing at life,
And those deep
Brown eyes of yours
That captivated me.
We talked
For hours on end
And never ran out
Of things to say,
Or tired of listening
To each other.
You were everything
I ever dreamed of,
Maybe more
Than I deserved,
And I counted myself lucky
Just to have you
As an intimate friend.
