Acquaintance to friend,
an almost magical event.
At what point does it actually occur?
As soon as you hear the first genuine laugh,
the first hug,
or when
you truly start hearing her?
When you start to hear
beyond the words that are said
but can hear the words of the eyes and heart.
When you can begin
feeling
their hurt and their pain;
that's when a true friendship will start.
Then walls are broke down
and they will let you come in
and share the life they have had.
You can be silly at times
or just sit quiet together
and share the good and the bad.
A trust starts to form,
bond you might say,
and the road in your life will bend.
You start a new journey,
a new chapter of a book.
They are no longer an acquaintance but a friend.
