moving on..

We started out as friends and now it's love
How beautiful to move so easily
From comradeship to passionate intimacy
Pure gain, with no rough edges to remove...

This turn was nothing I'd been thinking of,
No maybes or perhaps-es, consciously...

I knew desire, but love was not for me
Until I felt my heart from friendship move
I never felt so happily at home
As I do now, so rich in what life brings...

Your pleasure now is mine, as mine is yours
I never realized that my life alone
Flitted like a ghost among dead things
Glancing in through other people's doors....
