Love the title... You say a lot in few words. You express deep feelings yet use language like 'circumstantial evidence', and other allusions to forensics in your description of the progression of these love feelings :) It works well...
it seems like a slide unplanned, unannounced just coming into awareness and suddenly its I and Thou. I felt like your poem slipped just like it does in life.
It's okay to be friends and to be friends rather than lovers is better for some relationships, perhaps though not that wanted by one of the two. The smile is a nice gesture, the love never really was that HOT?
Okay, we're gonna be friends - I can see it coming.......LOL
Great write Jacob!
Hmmmm.....a love that is no more and suddenly a smile lights the spark all over again. Symbiotic....I believe a lot of relationships fit that description. We use people, but if they use us in return, well, is there a problem with this? Lydi*
