Unexpectedly

We met, that’s how it began.
I shied away from you until that day.
You started it all with the first say.
Unexpectedly, what we never had began to grow.

We were two different people before.
I was never imprudent.
You were a straight-A student.
Unexpectedly, we became friends.

We were somewhat similar then.
I would laugh when you smiled.
You would smile when I laughed.
Unexpectedly, we became best friends.

We were more alike than one would think.
I read realistic fiction.
You read scientific fiction.
Unexpectedly, we became close friends.

We are pretty much the same now.
I am quiet except with you.
You are quiet without me too.
Unexpectedly, we became two peas in a pod.
