According to Buddha

It is as if we are continually chasing mirages, only to be disappointed when they do not give us the satisfaction we had hoped for.

listen close, as close as i am to you
like the bell of liberty, i’ll ring a sound that’s true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew
oh, i’ll tell you that i
i love you by and by
i don’t know if i’d survive
without a friend like you in my life
