1. Your friendship has helped me after hardship
Time's vicissitudes have exhausted me intentionally

2. My soul turbulent seeks on purpose
So I when you purified me with love

3. The excuse of time's wrongs is valid for me
And they are many, beyond my count

4. Familiarity at times of ease may be harsh
And nearness may spark with flint of distance

5. So come to union, heavily saddened
