Best friend I hate and despise yet love
That’s the way it is.
Not sometimes. Just now. The problem with generalities are that they are median statistic no-one is there baldercrap.
So there’s this one man (and I say that properly) who is my best regarded friend
The man who helped me, the man I helped.
And as it goes, the man I’ll always defer to
My wiser brother
