UNTITLED POEM - 2

Two different kinds get to know one another, Acquaintance becomes friendship, the bond gets stronger. They laugh, they bicker, they sit in silence, They hang out for hours, talk on the phone till, till.. Pretty soon the friendship becomes warmer, The closeness of minds wants to get physical, The gap closes and a spark sets things alight! And you realize the wisdom of an old, old clergyman - Love is friendship set on fire.
