When Harry Met Sally

Three years ago, 

we were sitting across a conference table,
trading looks, learning journalism 

and I know you wondered
as I did

what we could be like.

Friends, can men and women
be only friends,
was the question of the years
as we struggled
with defining what we were.

When Harry Met Sally,
touch and go, testing the waters,
trying on other people to see
if they would fit,
but they never did.

Sure enough, it's been three years 

and now you're lying next to me,
my head on your chest listening 

to your heart beat
expressing our love
together at last.
