When you feel
that you are starting to fall
for someone

Quietly,
like the tiniest stars
that start to brighten the sky
at the fall of night

And you don’t know
if you want to allow yourself
to fall
because a friendship
is a precious thing
too precious to ruin

then take baby steps
and see to where they lead you
maybe towards
a new adventure
and maybe
towards just an evening
spent in good company
with laughter
and good conversation

Nothing
is ever
lost
