I Love you as my Friend



He whispered
I love you as my friend
a girl no longer offended
glad she didn't end it
you and me ... a match made in heaven
in God we trust
we roll tighter together
then a Packed yellow school bus
the plan is not to rush... stolen moments
take care of pass debts far from bankrupt
we be friends
 be my  love
 be my crush
you taught me there's no " I"  in we... but there's a  "U" in Us
to live life free and not so serious
each moment saved ... not spent
you lent me your ear so I could vent
inspiration so I could spit
a quite spot so I could sit
your lips so I could kiss
your hips so I could fit
you came and tamed
and rearranged
now my pockets are full with all this Change
Pandora's escaped , alive , awake ,  I'll never be the same
a new day a different game
a relationship firmly grounded
 properly bonded
I love you  as my friend too... she responded
