Lover of Friend?

Whether I came
As lover or friend
I lacked the certainty
of a relationship.

I know we kissed
and we held hands
but lover and friends
make both demands.

We shared some wine
We shared some bread
and later on
we shared your bed.

But we shared no knowledge.
of who we were
In the social terms of
"Are he and her?"

We shared the darkness
The sounds from the street
And sometime in the night
A hand crossed the sheet.

"Halt who goes there?
Lover or friend?"
In the darkness I recognise you
As one and the same.
