It Started as a Friendship

"You have to marry your best friend."

And that's what I did. 

I wasn't looking for a boyfriend,

I wasn't looking for a partner,

That person found me.

We started as friends;

I liked his honesty, 

His straightforward loyalty and trust.

I liked that he would listen,

Whenever I would fuss.

He was open minded,

And willing to talk,

About the good,

About the bad,

"Communication is Key."

And he has been the best friend to me.

I wasn't looking for a boyfriend,

I wasn't looking for a partner,

I found a friend,

Whom I intend to marry,

Just like my mother always said.
