Two best friends
-----------------
I made false memories
Of two best friends
First days at uni
The letters penned
Renting a flatshare
With parties wild
Their handmade presents
Pile up inside
I made false memories
Of two best friends
Ever a kind word
And books to lend
They do some travelling
But stay in touch
Because losing your best friend
Would be too much
I mix false memories
Of two best friends
Into the real ones
Friendship extends
It’s self indulgent
Still I pretend
We haven’t lost you
Can’t comprehend
I made false memories
Of two best friends
My own projection
Without an end
Frozen in ice
Two childhoods saved
Kept hidden in one
Alone
But together
Always
