Friend
You and I have not been lovers
But we have been real close friends.
Chillin' with you feels good to me
-laid back with no pretense
We've confided many secrets
Been scandalous in the past
When I'm in need,
you're there beside me,
before I think to ask.

How twisted are we?
Is there more than appears?
Or just mutual admiration
we've shared through the years?

You've had your share of women
that don't know you like I do
and the men I chose to hook up with
never measured up to you

We know each other's limits
what we would
and would not do
No need to pace the floor
at night
We have no drama to go through.

We're faithful to each other
yet we run to "them" instead
soothing superficial passions
apart in non-committed beds

Are we afraid to rock the cradle
scared of thoughts we dare not say?
The world thinks you're my brother
(It seems taboo to think this way!)

How ironic to keep searching
for an 'unknown' we can't name
Protecting our complacencies
in favor of the game.

What if we keep on searching
and then find there's nothing more?
Then much too late we realize
it was "us" we were looking for?
