Friendship

Friend, friend, when
Will you conclude
Your tears are safe with me
And too
That that is all we ask
Of love, and laughter
All we beg of friendship.
You know, he loved her
And I will note, make note
He loved her
He loved her
I state
For the times you said he didn't
And too
The times you doubted me
And doubt reduced, I wonder
Have I lost you?
And if so did I starve, or drown, your adolescent crush
I'm sure the latter
I'm sure the latter
But friend, conclude
Your tears are safe with me
And too
That that is all we ask
Of love, and laughter
All we beg of friendship.

Christopher

You are the man who tasted
The Adele I beg to show
I took your hand and led you
To the veranda
To the childhood
Even I am envious of, and you
Understood completely
What most had never attempted
To absorb, and you were there
My best friend, the missing laughter
That had made that childhood so.. so.

She knew that you would come
But not that you would come too late
Or too early, and not that you could go
She never predicted
Such worries - as choice, or chemistry, or submission
Or Kristian
Child Adele wanted You.
And I do, I do
That carrycot
Has a lot to answer for

You are the man who tasted
The Adele I beg to show
And now, I do not care who cares to know
You know
