You think you know someone but that's not always so
It's not always the true face that they show
A friend I thought, but that was not to be

Ones who eat with spoons and ones who eat with a fork and knife

You will meet many of these types from time to time

The knife and fork is a friendship which takes time and lasts

I don't know why I came to this earth,
Or why I was
