Lying vulnerable as we each let our walls down
A place where our fears have nowhere to hide
We reached out to each other not wanting to drown
I didn’t fall in love with you between thrusts
Or as you gripped the sheets calling my name
It wasn’t even the red rose petals scattered
Although your endless charm put many to shame
It was as we lay with our heads on our pillows
Your now familiar naked body entangled in mine
Searching your blue eyes longing to know more
I was left breathless by the love I had begun to find
Lying together I was pulled deep into your soul
It was full of a genuineness that left me in awe
I found great strength in a man who was broken
Your soul hopeful and warm despite a grief so raw
Absently your fingers traced my nakedness
You said she taught you how to touch a lover
With each stroke you were touching my soul
I began to believe we were sent to each other
Over a year has passed since that very first night
The feelings between us have changed and grown
Distance can only keep you from stroking my body
Now pillow time you stroke my soul by telephone
History says the sear of desire can only burn so long
Eventually the hungry kisses go from urgent to slow
Pillow time forsaken even in post orgasmic bliss
If taken for granted the cracks will begin to show
The way that I love you was unimaginable to me
We will always try to keep the cracks well tended
You loving me has changed me in so many ways
My heart is braver and my inhibitions have ended
You are the most beautiful love I have ever known
Memories of shared moments I will treasure until my end
My heart aches at times with longing for pillow time
I don’t know who I miss more, my lover or my best friend
Now I am happier than I ever dreamt was possible
Because I am deeply in love with my very best friend
Cracks can cause problems but they can’t define us
As lovers, friends or both our story will just transcend
