Love Poem: Friendship....Love

Friendship....Love

At first we were just names on a screen,
Not a thing did our words really mean.

Two people just talking at each days end,
Two lonely souls looking for a friend.

One much older than the other,
But not old enough to be his mother.

Then one day he spirits did fall,
That I felt compelled to give him a call.

We started talking via phone,
It felt like we were not alone.

Both knowing each of us was not free,
But our friendship just seemed meant to be.

For a few months there was no contact,
As an end came to my phone contract.

Then one day out of the blue,
He got a text from someone he thought he not knew.

We resumed our friendship once again,
But there it did not end.

He started saying things that gave my heart pause,
He said he loved me just because.

Claimed he knew for quite a while,
Even though my divorce had yet to be filed.

No matter what given reasons for us not to be,
He says he is in love with me.

I fell in love with this young man,
Over the course our friendship span.

He gave me his heart and he has mine,
For him I will try to shine.

My young love is cleverly spoken,
He loves me, even though I am broken.
