Difference between 'Friends' & 'Lovers'

Friends

Friends and lovers
are the ones we give away
into the care of other lives
and other times

You've been my friend and lover
Friend to my warmest thought
Lover to my misdirection
I hold you dear

Some stumbling thoughts
meant for you
Written as well as I can
At least for now

So, stick them in a corner
Drag them out
from time to time
when you wonder where I am

I'll remember you
You'll remember me
Friends and lovers
Never far apart
