When you've gotten to know someone dearly

And thus just know they are almost nearly

Always there for you and thus you feel secure

For with all the comings and goings, you're sure



At least one person will always be part of all

The scene - and thus will always be at your call

Then things change as abruptly as they started

You walk away with tail between legs and smarted



For something has happened which has come between

Your good intuition, and events which occur on-screen

For the beauty which was yours to see, hear and feel

Has now taken an abrupt turn, and you've lost your zeal



Will things now ever sort themselves out? ... 

Or has damage been done which'll turn us about?

I hope the good trust and faith which was before

Has not turned, and skated right out the door ...



For every problem which occurs in every relationship

Can be resolved as long as there's caring in the quips

And as long as communication is quite paramount to all

There will be resolution to everything before the fall.
