We Were Once Lovers

by Nancy Hidalgo

 

We're no longer lovers

Glad we remained friends

  The transition from lover to friend

Feels like a friendly divorce

  We were once soul mates

Our love is still strong as friends

But having you close to me

Only wants to bring out the animal in me

 How can we keep it platonic

If we have seen each other naked

  There is more than meets the eye

It's what the heart feels

What the body craves

 Loving you is like having

A ticket to happiness

If I redeem it?

Would you come back to me again?

 Better off as friends

Better off with other people

This way if we get hurt

We still have each other

To comfort one another

In what we once knew

   As lovers
