The world is strange, if you don't want to shatter, be strange too. (G.F)


He keeps it to himself.
I can only guess why.
No one'd believe him anyway?
If yes, I wanna try.

Once upon a time,
OK, I don't wanna say, but he's been a friend of mine;
But then clouds came,
and they covered the sky.

I've been guessing, guessing, guessing
and time made his eyes
stick to the ground,
and his shoulders
hangin' down.

So, I saw him everyday,
but I realized that he was fading away.

Finally talked to him
got to know the truth
I guess it hurt him,
that hurt me too.

Sometimes the truth is worse
than any imagination.
Sometimes any imagination
is worse than the truth.

Hey broo,
I hope there won't be an occasion
for missing you.

I've been knowing the person this is dedicated to since grade 5. We are not really friends but we know each other better. He used to call me broo, this is why I chose this name for him in my poems.
