Familiar Stranger

Have you ever had a really good friend of the opposite sex that turned into a love affair that didn't work out and you found it hard to hold on to your friendship after the love failed?  Let me share this concept for that I came up with called 'Familiar Stranger'


We started out as simple friends way back when like when LA Gear and Double Diamond BK’s graced our feet and like when kids sat down and shut da hell up when adults speak, you know what I mean
And so then you became my kin and you had my back like the strap of my bra to hold my breasts tight
And if a clasp broke to make it loose, you were like a safety pin that held it together on both ends
Whoever tested me, you made sure they went through it, your defense jacked careers like the beast hits of Ray Lewis
We went through our own share of issues like mucous saturates tissues but we always came back to what we had like we were never even mad, we built a surround BS proof studio where only the beats we engineered were allowed  to go through  
Through and through, from red to blue, me going from dude to dude and you being my cool ass dude that wasn’t actually my dude but yet you were the number one sir in my yes, giving me the best of the best
Better than my bed turned my sleep to rest
More punctual than the question mark at the end of a guess
Creating standards for others to be put to test
Complimenting me more than a suit to a vest
Writing finances to mutually invest
Changing the pace of the beat in my chest, to match your electric rhythm to a synchronized set
Making the water wells wet, damn and then came the sex
So the ship that was a friend turned kin sank Titanically and died on the scene, instantaneously
But see the ship that sank was secretly impregnated for months with a midgette romance, midgette like not fully developed all the way on the outside but fully grown in its own right
So fully grown that its already reached its maximum height at birth, not to downgrade its worth because its still an earth being, being brought here though before seeing its deformity
The growth has already been maximized, abnormally
And normally when you’re with child you can prepare for its arrival, but this midgette born premie just unraveled my baby shower, unrattled
No gifts to receive baby, baby is showered with coward and no blanket wraps, SURPRISE! It’s a boy, no it’s a girl, no it’s a premature love romance unfurled
Damn, my world has been rocked like MJ’s doc was stocked with rocks to mock unconscious states
But, every child born is a blessing, even the unexpected right, even if I hate the means to the ending fate
Only the weight of the loss and gain of the addition doesn’t measure out to a steady balance
My chamber put on so many pounds that the sheer curtains fell straight to the ground, I knew those drapes wouldn’t last, we bought em too fast, it was only to cover up the stained glass, damn I miss my ship, and just as soon as I tossed that mourn, here comes another huge loss
Losing the ship to give way to the midgette, then losing that, brings us to zero digits
No turning back now, friends to lovers now ended turns our backs to each other
You can’t be my friend because I loved you and because I loved you I can’t not love you and because I love you, you can’t be my friend but because you were once my friend you can’t be a stranger but because you’re not a stranger that makes you familiar, now isn’t that strange?
Once a bill is broken to change, the change cant be broken back up to its original range
Yea I know still strange
But that’s the whole point of the dynamic that’s been redefined, we can’t rewind
Our time is behind like the link before the next link on the chain, the link that broke, and yea it can be replaced, but not with that same link, the chain has to be rekinked, but whenever I stumble across that missing link I’ll always wink because it will always be strangely familiar, Mr Familiar Stranger
