They are the people you know the best.
The people you understand the best.
Can almost predict.
Ha! Can almost predict.
Don't fool yourself.
People change.
Too much.
People you've known
Since you were the tiniest little people
Will suddenly become the people you know the least.
It slaps you in the face.
Startles you.
You've known her since you were one!
You've been "best friends" ever since you've had the sense to understand!
You know her!
Don't fool yourself.
People change.
Be prepared for it.
They have faces they prefer to show.
Hiding other parts of their character.
Insincerity? no!
Hypocrisy? no!
Look in retrospect: always
You will see the truth.
Your friend did not deceive
But merely that you were blind.
You were Blind.
How could you do that?
Be blind to someone you see so often?
Surely you would see
Any early sign of hypocrisy?
No!
You pick the traits you want to see
And blind yourself to the rest.
Then revelation and pain.
Never be too comfortable.
Never feel absolutely satisfied with your surroundings.
Be prepared for change.
Always be prepared for change.
Don't Fool Yourself.
