Shoulder to literally stand on
To cry, laugh or resign
Stable as the eye of a storm
Yet alas an extreme rarity
Ever seen snow in the summer?
From the very birth of one's time
Or from just the last night
Trust rooting deeper - sending
Vines from either to intertwine

Miracles - not every day
Like if I even spark with flint
Two strangers - a xenograft
Not all to please the maker
Hands to build yet another bridge
But what if this stood still
Thin as a tightrope, strong as lead
A bond that has us bulletproof
While the world stands confused

Stark differences, vile quirks
How was this even happening
As reserved as I am, you are not
Did a whole 180 since the start
But I've barely even moved
Mind boggling, but we get along
I can close my eyes and fall back
Onto every single moment yet
Not all stand the test of time

Some plans backfire
And we often trip up
It's the ones who reach out
And help you get through and out
The handful that take your hand
Even when all seems peachy
Who can read every silent cue
And test every parameter without
Even being able to be by your side

When the caterpillar can fly
The other would dance around
Tears of glass all faded away
With time and distance between
Maketh no difference to hearts
That've endlessly forged ties and
Refuse to give up - unlike many
Temporary - crack to leave pain
Not every bond must be sealed
With a kiss or by molten wax.
