Crossing the Line of Friendship

Late night whispers, thoughts run deep

Silent truths that words can't keep

Years of friendship, steady and true

Held the line, never crossed through

Involved with others, yet still we stayed

A silent bond that time obeyed

Then one evening, under city lights

You stepped inside, no more fights

Caught in a moment, just us two

What was forbidden, suddenly new

We crossed the line that friendship drew

In the quiet, felt something true

From strangers to a touch so near

Falling deeper, year by year

But shadows cast doubts in disguise

Hidden feelings behind our eyes

You moved away, then came back home

Losing myself in being alone

You moved in, a temporary stay

Helpless to push the feelings away

I watched you talk, to others out there

While I just longed for you to care

She caught feelings, but held her tongue

Silent battles, unsung

In her heart, she knew this was right

Even as she lost the fight

We crossed the line that friendship drew

In the quiet, felt something true

From strangers to a touch so near

Falling deeper, year by year

But shadows cast doubts in disguise

Hidden feelings behind our eyes

You moved away, then came back home

Losing myself in being alone

Now I see a better me

Your presence set me free

Though rules we bend and break

It's the chance we take

Years of friendship, now something more

Forever changed by that night’s door

Knowing you’s the greatest gift

Our story, a precious shift
