Friends And Lovers

 

Friends and Lovers

I write this while your scent still lingers warm upon my skin

I watch you sleeping and wonder whose dreams you are in

I search for clever words to say, for memorable phrases to write

But the memory of our loving still glows in dawn's feint light

The whispers that fell on my pillow have risen with the dawn

And the kisses that tumbled from our lips are no longer warm

And all the while I wonder - is this the beginning or the end

If last night we were lovers - how could we still be friends
