POETRY: "Can We Just Be Friends" By Cheryl A. Baldwin

Can We Just Be Friends

       Fell in love again,
but this time he's a friend
     won't you lend a hand?

Smoothe lines
Dark skin
So I asked a friend
"Should I risk giving up my heart again?"

his breathe smelled like warm milk in the morning
That cradle of skin
Ooh... my friend,
This love we could not pretend.

I want you to learn my heart
get to know me before you come in
     are you ready? :)

No sex before marrage
yeah I'm "that type of Christian"
Don't attack me with your kisses
My sensuality comes from within.
                       Relax!
My pending body
he thought I was hiding from sin
But still he said
"OK best friend"

He said tongue kisses were the trend
day by day he would recommend
no harm did he entend but,
         Temptation created tension
He said "I want to feel the motions of your emotions."

        Imprisoned by our love I began
to put you before my faith
and you before my friend
I felt it in my heart,
But I didn't want it to end
        So I said,
"Do you feel the same way about me, about us?"
              Can we make ammends?

Restless lips and restless hips baby said,
           "It depends."
      I was hurt.
Mistook his mentality for his maturity
Went through so much to let him in
I still didn't want this relationship to end
            Can we just be friends?

So caught up in the maddness I had forgotten how silly you had been
That cradle of skin
So I take my broken heart
And I give it to you again.
