英语诗歌:From Friends to Lovers 从朋友到情人

Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, it's Christmas Eve now, during the whole week I’ve been thinking about presenting a special gift on this special occasion for all my audience, well, finally I turn to the subject: love.

Here is a love poem，〈From Friends to Lovers〉, I hope you like it. Platonic¹ love is very much a part of any close friendship. But such a love doesn't always stay platonic. Sometimes it turns into passionate² love. Crossing that line, between friendship and love, can be both beautiful and extremely difficult…

From Friends to Lovers

Sometimes I feel sad and sometimes I feel blue,

But whenever I see you, I'm as happy as can be.

For you bring a smile upon my face,

And a feeling of joy within my heart.

You're like my sunshine in the morning,

And my stars that glow at night;

You're like the waves in the ocean,

The cool breeze in the wind.

You’re like the call of the birds in the morning dew,

You’re like the sounds of beauty in the night.

You see all of these things are of beauty and love,

That's how I feel whenever you are near.

For it was the passion and desire from both of us

That opened up the world for our eyes to see.

For our love of each other will grow and grow,

And our needs and desires will be more everyday.

For a friend you once were and will always be

Has turned into love as it should have been.

So I want you to know as a friend and lover

That in my heart and arms you'll always stay,

For our love for each other will never fade.
