Banter across a room,
developing interest 
and mutual respect
we became just friends.

Tender smiles brighten,
conversations enchant,
feelings grow between 
Those two "just friends."

A few casual caresses,
some shared embraces,
more grows between 
innocent "just friends."

Magical moments,
passions simmer,
fought though they flare
between two "just friends."

Tandem hearts racing,
secret walls crumble,
bonds rapidly growing
among those "just friends."

Fires flare, burning,
Heat all consuming
two lovers lost where
once there were "just friends."

Fires exploding,
souls intertwined,
heart beat as one
no longer "just friends."

Fires extinguished,
walls re-erected,
hearts burn like acid
returning to "just friends."

Something yet pulls,
together but parting,
slowly adjusting 
to being "just friends."

Long conversations,
feelings confronted,
work clears the path 
to becoming Best Friends.
