The Bonds That Were

Sitting right across from me, that's how it always seemed to be

Two peas in a pod until Donnie joined up and then it was three

Make plans for hours about how we would not be lame when we grew up 

Like all the adults we knew and loathed so much

We would not become pricks and we'd always stay in touch

Promises were made to be loyal and true, blood pacts sealed with minimal scars

We helped each other through tough times at school, helped fix each others cars

Friends not just to the end but until time itself stopped

And as those early years passed it seemed we were lucky to have one another

Blessed with bonds of friendship so strong we would call one another brother

We would talk for hours, about nothing at all

We would talk for hours, about nothing at all

We would talk on and on for hours

About absolutely nothing at all
