Another by Chris and I. This is about meeting someone and knowing there is an instant spark of friendship.

Friends From the Start 

~ 

Standing at the gate 

and 

waiting for the whistle 

~ 

Heart 

is in a state of constant 

Palpitation 

~ 

We catch each other's eye, 

wonder what could happen, 

if we met under 

a clear blue sky. 

~ 

You ask for my name. 

I ask the same. 

We find ourselves lost 

in confusion, 

and speculate why 

our paths crossed. 

~ 

No time to waste 

as the race has now begun! 

Knowing what's important 

is if the race is won. 

~ 

The competition's fierce 

Yet, we're in a state of 

calm. 

~ 

Let friendship be our balm. 

Chums to fool around with, 

let's prove this isn't 

a myth. 

~ 

We may end up as lovers 

before this is over.
