i've got these two friends who are madly in love and you can see the joy they bring each other they're getting engaged and are so excited about spending their lives together and i look at them and really hope they'll stay together always i've got these other two friends who don't even like each other anymore but they've been together for years and spent too much time sitting on the couch watching t.v. and eating junk food together and now they're fat and have lost any social skills they may have once had so they stay together, loveless, because they're afraid of leaving each other and not finding anyone else they're afraid of being alone and i know they'll stay together always i'd bet on fear and resignation over love almost every time they've just got more staying power in the hearts of most human beings and it's only that it's only 'almost' that makes it worth keeping going there's a fine line between eternity and a fleeting moment
