you brought us to the moon and then went back
leaving us with heartache and lack of oxygen
leaving us in this dark, deserted village
and it never rains where we've never been

it was always easier to lead the victims
halfway between their help and your escape
as we went higher, you had no more pressure
hidden agendas and invisible tape

the only thing keeping me is lack of
a spaceship, an idea, an opportunity
we are useless when we are bound
in this forced orbit of reality

at least it was easier for you
stealing an extra booster or two

have you ever wondered why we are friends with those that we are friends with? i know i have. actually, i think i just wondered that tonight. i'm sure many people have wondered this and come up with a much more clever conclusion than whatever i come to decide. but i don't know, at this point, what anyone else has decided about this though. this is what i think:
i think that we, either consciously or subconsciously, choose our friends because each individual friend possesses a certain quality that we need in our life. i guess not the friends that we only hang out with when there's nobody else or the ones we're forced to be friends with, but our best friends that we would rather hang out with than anyone else in the entire world. i guess there are several different qualities in a person that attracts us to them. i think, no matter how you meet a friend or what makes you become best friends, a lot of how we choose and become close with our friends is based on our own problems and how we deal with these problems in our lives. when you're with your best friends, everything seems better.
i have friends that, whenever i'm with that person, we always make each other laugh by means of many many things. we would always have a fun, awesome time hanging. i completely forget about things that are wrong that i may be going through. i have friends that, in some way or another, help me to express and let out how feelings or emotions. be it music, or some other form of art, or sports, i always end up feeling better about whatever. i have friends that are going through much worse times than me. this makes me realize that what i might be going through isn't anything compared to what they're going through. it makes it much easier and i completely forget about the insignificant thing i might have. the only thing i hope for is that their situation gets better. there are also friends that just help you through whatever you may be going through without taking your mind off it. they help you deal with what is going on.
it's funny, though, how, if you find the one thing, you can pretty much be friends with anyone. i have several friends that i never thought i'd even be able to be in the same mile radius with without getting into a fight, be it an argument or a fist fight. but they're there.
i really like friends. i think i need everything that they share to survive. well, maybe not survive, but be happy i guess. friends rule. they are my favourite thing i have. i really love the variety or range of friends i have. each one of them is a completely different kind of person than the next. and i'm glad.
