Now

The day is new and I live
I see a friend far away
And yet I still know this friend
We have touched in a different time
As friends, not lovers.

We opened each others hearts
Freed the spirit to grow
And what was said was said 
For each to know the other cared
But not lovers.

Why not walk with a friend?
I see him ahead what looks far
Yet he is next to me also
I remember the days long ago
We were never lovers.

Do I regret this? No.
We were to truthfull
Knew to much of each other
And this was what we wanted
Not to be lovers.

To Tom, a friend who made my wedding fun.
