Mythology (For Jon B)

I thought that a trusted friend existed
only in tales and twisted myths and
Frightened, I'd never encounter this
Someone I could confide in
Besides my "boyfriend" who admired me
for my innocence

I kept a distance, afraid of a friendship
And shed distant tears in silence
But you listened, and gave me what I needed

See, but not in the form of a father or a lover, our paths coincidentally collided and you became my brother

So, I recently reevaluated my thinking
and feelings to determine whether I was on the boundary of reality or dreaming

By chance we did not travel through the same canal of life
But by that same chance
I entered your life, and by that same roll of the dice
YOU continued to guide me through my strifes

So I can do nothing but show you some love
'Cause you are my brother and it's in our blood.
Cosmically joined as is a group of stars
or like planets in mythology
I am Venus and you're Mars

Or being a Pisces you'd save me in water
and me, a Taurus I'd carry you on land
with fervor until we could go no further
