Best to Love
18 February 2007

We can make up, break up,
or even tie love in a knot.
But to be best friends,
we will always forgive
one and another and
know this was true.

As if not to take too lightly,
those words of 'I love you'�.
For to love a friend and be in love,
this was more than hope,
greater than pretend.

My darling, my truthful one,
the woman I sleep with in rest.
You know you are my every thing,
and most certainly a friend of best.

For tomorrow we dream our yesterday,
in a knowledge we may not always be right.
Then to know and understand,
best is best, and 'I love you'�,
my best friend and lover true.
