Honeymooning

It is the moment that you show you care enough about me,

To respect my standards,

Solely because they are important to me,

That I am willing to bend my standards for you.

And your willingness to share your true self,

That I love about our friendship,

But that intimacy is also what prevents us from remaining just friends.

Which seem to form a necessary growth before we can part our ways,

But the novel depth provided by that journey also makes it impossible to let go.
