The Beginning

How strange are all these feelings
Making my heart race
I wonder if breathing you in will forever fill the space
Your smile thaws my icy spots 
Your touch reaches my soul
Without you I am half of one
When I am near you I feel whole.
Do you ever believe I could be the one for you
What if I proclaimed my love,
ever wonder what you'd do?
Would you kindly shake your head and hold me while I cry?
Or would you nod emphatically and promise we could try?
I dont know what is in store for you and I quite yet 
All I know is I cherish all the time with you I have spent
I hope you know within your heart a true friend in me you've found,
I will be in your corner picking u up should u fall down.
So dont be surprised to find out that i love you madly friend
Embrace it with the knowledge that on me you can depend.
