What does the term "astonishing friends" imply?
Is whatever that sheds from the aroma sly?
To reach out to someone with a mild gesture
Presuming one of your contacts is an admirer
Genuine mates provide an endless onset of courage.
Even though spoken knifers might hassle a rampage.
Similarly, I stick to a mate, one of my favorite.
I gleaned she should realize whether I'm a pundit.
Everything focuses on what we urge to avail.
Whatever we mumble at the witness scale.
That is the method that saves a partner's entity.
Their hearts are closed, avoiding despondency.
That is the goal they stay such a burly amenity.
Aside from being deserving of such apathy.
I can't start revealing the size I revere them.
Hustling them, then again, sustains mayhem.
