Who to trust and to who make that pledge
Who to be with forever and who just keeps you on edge
That one life partner who will be forever more
Go through the list, one, two, three then four

Someone that you can trust and who's heart you can openly pour
Or the misgivings of a traitor who's vengeance will leave you wholly sore

Take a bite of the cake and a trust you devour, as a couple you now feel that power
Times journey slips into a well of decay, leaving that taste, that is now, oh so sour

You meet many on the way, they come and slip away, but onto whom do you now hold
6 months here, a couple of years there, like most friendships they one day fold

As I sit here in the sun, thoughts of times that I have run, I'd say these tree's hold some great memories
Best left to ponder on my own, where arguments cannot be grown,
As I am my own best company,

JJB
Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowded room with boring people than I feel on my own - Henry Rollins

I don't know people can fake whole relationships. I can't even fake a hello to somebody I don't like! - Anon
