Quietly, softly,
the approach,
so that the heart that hurts
won't hurt so badly again.

Expectations kill.

So without pretense,
in the absence of ulterior motives,
it is simply thus:
Friends.

Nothing more.

In dedication:

Silently, surely and full of grace.
Every movement,
every sway,
an explosion of art
in its purest, truest form:
body language refined,
the world of literature redefined.
No song sweeter than her joy,
in all its natural beauty
as the cascadence of
expression magnifies
from measured adagio
to the sharp allégro,
culminating in a grand sforzando;
grande finale.
