The Feeling Of Change Poem by SarahLaney Long

Can you feel the change in the wind
The way wind changes directions from east to west
The change that comes from a close dear friend
When one starts to think differently about the other, and always looks their best.

Perhaps, we should have a look at their past.
Both not carring at all about the other, not even a little at all.
Fast forward through the months, through the years, until the day of change comes at last.
The day when one lets their gaurd down, and also lets their wall fall.

They start to talk more, laugh more, spend time with each other more.
But they do not dare even to think of crossing that dangerous line.
Yet neither of them would ever want to go back to the ways things were before.
Before one of them took that first step, and didn't even know that it was all in a matter of time.

Now they are back to the present, were this story began before.
Not knowing which way to go, both scared to take the next step;
Afreaid that the other may walk away; never wanting more.
More than a secret from the other that has to be kept.

More than friendship, more than where they have finally gotten to.
But one builds up the courage, and takes the other's hand.
Looking into the other pair of beautiful eyes in front of you.
Realizing that all along, all this time, your two lives have been planned.

You start to shake, but you manage to keep a smile.
Laughing because you realize what all is left for you to do.
The other is patient, wondering why you haven't said anything for a while.
And then something brushes over you, a breeze, or maybe the changing wind, as you courageously say to the other, 'I love you'.

Can you feel the change in the wind
The way wind changes directions from east to west
The change that comes from a close, dear freind.
When one starts to think differently about the other, and always looks their best.
