Friends...
Let me tell you a story Of a boy and a girl Bestfriends of each other Never taken apart When asked if they were together They laughed and denied But oohh boy did their hearts defied He loved her loved her because she understood him Made him feel happy and wanted. She made world look beautiful. She loved him She loved him because he made everything so happy, so easy. Made her feel appreciated. He made world a better place . But oohh The fear The fear of losing it all in hopes of love kept their hearts desires sealed The secret buried deep under the friendship tree.

Beneath the starlit canopy, Where shadows and dreams entwine, I walk the path of ancient wanderers, Tracing constellations with my eyes, Each star a beacon in the cosmic sea.
