No matter how long you want to stay the same It finds you one way or another Either large or small It takes you by surprise The feelings that it brings you Like gifts wrapped on Christmas day A mystery that surrounds you and waits for you to find for yourself It can come like a storm Unpredictable like rain from a clear sky But eventually you find yourself living life with it As if it were always there And no matter how long you want to stay the same You live with it and call it friend.
