The Flows of Friendship
"People come and go"
That's what they all say
I've never truly understood that 'til today
I was young and naive then
And I thought friends will always stay friends
But over time I've come to discover
Only a few of them will linger
Some friendships will evaporate like water
Disappearing
Leaving no trace as proof it was even there
In life, too many things are uncertain
You never know when they'll close the curtain
Like actors on a stage, they curtsy and bow
They walk off the stage of your life
Farewell, au revoir, ciao
But you
Yes, you
I am certain of you
As certain as a human needs water
I won't ever let you disappear
Or let this friendship evaporate into thin air
Or let the air become saturated and heavy
Between us; no swirling eddies
Let us go together smoothly as laminar flows
Like a boat on a peaceful river
As a gentle breeze blows
When turbulent waters come
Let us keep remembering the calm
And meet again when the eddies are gone
In harmony, once again, when the day is done
