Sanity



The boy said yes to her twice
And regretted the third time
The Girls made sense the last time
And refused to stop making it

The lull said the friendship is over
The sense says its time to think twice
The man starts to come out of crush
The woman begins to fall in secret love

The way becomes frienship forever
The loss becomes pay in and out till whenever
The tune of sense paves the parties home
The schools thrive and sense is still made

Madness is out of existence
For friendship reaches the extreme of good sense
And reason overtakes the other that reaches
The no reason that is known but is no sense

Like an affair in a mvie told for a lesson
Like a seller in an ad loving it always
Like a reader in a stream catching no fish
Like a walker on a rope trying passions out
