Close Enough For Love

You and I, an unmatched pair Took the time to touch, to share Worlds apart the night we met We braved the odds and won the bet Not perfect yet but close enough for love How old-fashioned, pure romance Shared a kiss and shared the dance Shared the body and bouquet We'll taste the wine another day When you and I are close enough for love Not just lovers, more than friends Who knows where one starts, one ends Tracing lights through sleepless nights That I'll remember always Always long goodbyes and tearful looks Hold up well in poems and books But you and I have life to hold The greatest story never told Not perfect yet but close enough for love --- Close Enough for Love - Dianne Reeves
