With a longing look at yesteryear, fading memories oft blur and blend. But I recall a time, long ago, when I explored life with my best friend. Two impetuous souls full of fun, we ran on the energy of youth. And survived problematic moments, discovering; there's honor in truth. Adventurers in a madcap world, we unmasked the false faces of fear. And shared times of laughter and sadness; even spilled the occasional tear. Trust guided our emotional flow, manipulating how we both felt. And loosening reality's grip, we faced whatever destiny dealt. Two blood brothers bonded by a pledge of sacred words; spoken from the heart. And that oath, made many years ago, today keeps us from drifting apart.
