About a friend from Uni, written in 1993. He is elusive at best to everyone, even 30 years later!

For a while you were distant when we ever got together

and we would share a lecture seat, ignoring one another

but gradually we settled in and got to know each other

now, I could almost say that you're my unrelated brother

When we would talk and you were drunk, you'd offer me your beer

but if chat got too deep then you would up and disappear

Sometimes it does annoy me that your feelings are so shuttered

but I could almost say that you're my unrelated brother

We've had our trials and traumas that we've managed to get through

not least of those, your friends, who think that I'm in love with you

But I am sure that we'd work best as friends and not as lovers,

and I can almost say that you're my unrelated brother.
