She was in complete shock
No time to prepare or block
His sudden advances a surprise
Hadn’t noticed the look in his eyes
Thought of him as a close friend
No need their relationship amend
Climbing hiking or sharing a view
Many adventures shared it was true
She had no idea, a blindside
Romance was never implied
Yet here they were in that moment
With many an unknown component
Could they remain friends now
As she raised an eyebrow
This would take consideration
And quite some deliberation
She hadn’t thought of him in that light
Best pals, morn noon or night
Shared so much, talked from the heart
He’d always been her counterpart
