Friendship is such a waste
When you look at it for what it is.
Do I need someone else to lie to me
Resent me, use me?
Do I really want to see my failings
In another person?
Or worse still, not see them?
See the truth!
Marriage, two-and-a-half kids,
Happy most of the time rarely happens.
Do I really need to know
That she wants my man or he wants her?
Why can’t I retreat into my dreams of life?
From TV, CDs, novels, the movies?
Do I need that window to remind me
That the true meaning of life could be service?
Or, do I need that mirror to remind me?
Great friendships rarely exist.
But, friendship exists for some reason.
And can sometimes be more than a family
Which simply occurs from birth.
