To appear or not to appear. It’s kinda clear and I got you here.
Oh how your peers will be annoyed when I show you how to dismiss and avoid.
Rule one: Appear to be available, but underneath always remain the unattainable.
Rule two: Keep your interactions on a surfacing level.
Don’t get deep with comrades on a personal level.
Rule three: When you’re out of sight remain out of mind.
If you don’t the rest of the world will invite you out sometime.
Rule number four: stonewall your loved ones to the core
If they get too close kick em’ out your heart’s home and lock the door.
Rule five: embrace solidarity and keep to yourself.
Never grow close or get attached to anyone else.
If the spirit of company comes ignore it and be dismissively avoidant.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
