Betrayal.
A constant occurrence.
Yet I do not learn.
The value of distance.
The value of observation.

Betrayal.
When will I learn?
To stay away.
From the very man kind.
Whose clutches constantly disappoint.

Betrayal.
When will I learn?
Few are truthful.
Few are deserving,
Of my love,
Of my friendship.

Betrayal.
A constant occurrence.
By those dearest to your heart.
Stay warm hearted towards everyone but don't make everyone your dear friend. Not everyone deserving of your love.

It's crazy, don't you think so?
I thought I'd grow old with you,
Walk down new streets with you
But it all went to nothing.

Might've been something I did
But I didn't wanna let you go like that
You closed the door in my face in the winter sunset
Now I'm in the darkness you said I led you into.

When the talking was done
I felt the coldest touch
I knew was the last I was gonna see of you
Never do you know what the future will do
A decade just flashed by in seconds, I knew
This was the last I'm gonna see of you

No more driving down the road
I'll never walk you home again
I won't see you grow since you wanted it to end
You won't see me shine but I'm not afraid of that

Could've been something you did
When you thought in a few words it could be ended.

A precious friend, you are
Almost any kind of trouble, can you bear
You speak your mind without worrying
About what most people would be thinking
Praise, criticism, you give in equal measure
Really, are you a friend to treasure!

A precious friend, you are
To work with, great fun you were
Spot on, were your suggestions
Seldom, were you out of action
To you, am I very grateful
For being extremely kind to me
When I didn't deserve it at all
Really, did you set my mind free
From all my shackles of self-doubt
Your compassion is hard to beat!!

A precious friend, you are
And a wonderful wife and mother
Vivek has a heart of gold
And your children are themselves gold!
Moreover, being at your home
Has always felt like being at my own home!!

A precious friend, you are
Now and forever
May Jesus bless you and your lovely family
With everything that makes you all happy!!
Dedicated to Rene, a close friend and former colleague of mine.
