I love you my friend <br />Can I make you understand <br />Why that feeling so warm and exciting <br />Passes through me at a glance or the <br />Slightest touch of your hand? <br /> <br />Lust is a temporary affliction <br />That passes very fast <br />But love, as I feel it for you <br />Will last, and last, and last. <br /> <br />To you love means boundaries <br />Chains and closed doors <br />To me love is boundless and <br />As free as the great outdoors. <br /> <br />My love has no pride or ego <br />Jealousy and its destruction I abhor <br />Because through love’s freedom <br />There is so much beauty in store. <br /> <br />We met through lust <br />But when its passion had past <br />A special kind of love had blossomed <br />It too was exciting and good <br />If allowed, it could stand fast. <br /> 1970<br /><br />Jim Boone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-and-lust-16/
