Friends, Lost And Found

Friends, Lost and Found

Friends forever is a maybe, but no sure thing
you like this friend, he or she likes you
that signals a friend's forever-situation - no guarantee though

Some friendships thrive, others do the flip flop-thing

Some may even turn into 1000 knives in the back

You watch a friend excel in sports, in dance, in love
next moment the sportsman or lover is in a critical condition
what seemed to be an unstoppable life force turns stale
the dancer can't dance anymore, can't even stay alive
sadly enough, even firebombs of energy were only passing by

Friends forever may lose out to friends of friends who win the game
there you are, friendless and alone in huge crowds of people
you don't know them, but believe me, they may be future friends

After all, once all friends were nameless people in a crowd
then a light was turned on from somewhere and you knew:
this is a soul like mine - a friend, someone to love, to respect
