Mistaken for brothers, and maybe that's true Before our departure, I’ve some things to say: Don't die with your music still inside you. From boys to men, together we grew, Nostalgic memories of how we’d play. Mistaken for brothers, and maybe that's true. Twenty-five years, each version brand new. I’m proud of how you’ve carved your way. Don't die with your music still inside you. You stayed close when I switched my crew, Loving a man we once called gay. Mistaken for brothers, and maybe that's true. For you, there's nothing I wouldn’t do. We’re growing older, slowly turning grey. Don't die with your music still inside you. I’ll always be there, even without a clue. Live your life fully, don’t let it decay. Mistaken for brothers, and maybe that's true. Don't die with your music still inside you.

As I'm leaving, I tried writing a villanelle for my best friend. Your feedback is appreciated, Villanelle was a very challenging form!
