Old desires surface again:

by Aish   Sep 10, 2008


From the age of fove we've been best friends,
never hard a secret or said a harsh word.
Our parents were close but we were closer,
Only the two of us-never a third.

The years went by and we grew up together,
your "sister" was me, my "brother" was you.
Well that's how it felt with us always together,
and everyone else thought of us like that too.

But the yeas rolled by and we both got older,
inside my feelings surged and grew.
I never looked at you the same way again,
It was a new kind of love that I know felt for you.

But time kept passing and i said nothing,
I just buried my feelings deep inside.
I hid them with a laugh and a smile,
Only when I was alone would i let myself cry.

You went trough girlfriends and asked for my help,
so i gave you advice and girly type tips.
It hurt deep inside and you have no idea,
of how much i craved for the taste of your lips.

You had no idea of the effect that you had,
you had no idea of how jealous i was.
you had no idea how your smile made me melt,
you had no idea of the love that I felt.

After highschool you decided to travel,
a dream that you'd had since we were kids.
I hugged you goodbye and waved you off,
I closed my eyes and the tears pool under my lids.

The weeks passed slowly and turned into months,
and then the pain lessened and i was the old me.
I felt happy for once-I could smile and laugh,
I was single, cheerful, wild and free.

I still longed forthe first day of every month,
when you'd call and we'd talk for hours on end.
But no longer did it hurt to hear your voice,
It was just great to talk with my very best friend.

Then one day you called me unexpected,
and told me that you were coming home.
I met you at the airport and the whole drive back,
you told me of places like Paris and Rome.

We got to my pad and i invited you in,
We talked into the night and listened to the rain.
Then you looked in my eyes, smiled and said,
"I knew i could trust you to take away the pain".

I asked what you meant and you stroked my cheek,
"you silly girl" you said andreality sunk deep.
Then you leant in and gave me a passionate kis,
I think for a moment my heart didnt beat.

We slept in each others arms that night,
you'd had no other women, id had no other men.
as nothing could touch the depth of our love,
when our old desires surface again.
