The Accidental Best Friend
She came into my life, when the loneliness was so bad
I felt as if I could end it all swiftly, with a kitchen knife
While in a frame of mind best described as desperately sad
In which I had given up on the friendliness of mankind
And empty socializing, enough of, I have had
So... I took phone in hand
And called the shadiest "Hook-up" Dating line. To take a stand
And find the girl of my dreams, to keep me from going mad
I scanned through all the adds, listening for the one telling a true tale
I fell for the one and only Lady that sounded so fine
Her sexy and demanding voice, put the facts right on the line
And said, "A friend is what I need" sex can wait
That says to me, that sex is a possibility
So I left a response in her voice mail
Days went by, and eventually she sent a text
And I was startled to find out what happened next
I soon found after days of communication
That we have one thing strongly in relation
A friend is all we need, and that should always be first
Then maybe lusting for sex, will become wanting to share love
And sharing love will quench my sexual thirst
Now, I am happy we started as friends in the lead
And a friend in her is what I have found indeed
Also, I found in this true friend, that is all that I really need
And I feel a love for her growing already
Like having planted a seed

A gentle poem which takes the reader from a desperate situation to the fruition of friendship and love. It places love above sex which is the order where these emotions should be. It is a poem of transformation and personal healing found within the hearts of two people are are honest with each other.
Thank you for this
