Growing up has its ups and downs. Things can get complicated.

 

When friendship turns to love, can it work? Explore the possibility in . . .

 

 

A Love Not Denied

 

A question,

an answer,

a sign

of the truth.

A friendship develops,

then love

blossoms

in youth.

 

Surprised,

unsure

of how

to proceed,

you follow

the path,

with caution,

indeed.

 

You believe

it can happen,

and must

be tried.

But still feeling alone,

the ribbon

of love

remains untied.

 

You’ve come

a long way

to reach

this point,

and pray

to God

for the power

not to disappoint.

 

Wanting,

but scared,

of what you

have found,

no longer

alone,

now together

bound.

 

Not knowing

what tomorrow

may hold

or dismiss,

you seek

the opportunity

to enjoy your

first kiss.

 

Embrace the moment.

Cherish the warmth,

as you engage

in life’s dance.

The time is right.

Follow your heart

and take

a chance.

 

Share

your feelings.

Imagine

what could be.

Trust

this is possible.

Love

is your destiny

 

As time

marches on,

the road

is long.

Believe two hearts

can unite

as one

in song.

 

Souls

blend,

as eyes

open wide.

The future

now clear—

a love

not denied.
