If he reaches for you in times of need,
if he says it all, when he is respectful and flirty.
        When he says you’re the best friend he’s got.
If he calls you often,
if you go out and end up spending hours talking with him.
           When he says is about time you get a nice guy.
If he opens the door for you and takes the bill.
If you have a nickname for him he also used for you.
                When you are close enough for a kiss but your body doesn’t burn up.

Then, you know you are friends.
