Then there is the other guy
Joining battles with a cry
Tempramental, reckless, cute
And with puppy eyes, to boot

They met with a clash of steel
(Instant, mututal appeal)
One a mentor; one is not
Both are teachers; both are taught

And their two friends watch them dance;
watch them spar, adjust a stance
Watch the younger calming down;
watch the elder smile, not frown

Mentor, student, lover, brother
They have found it in each other
They are quite a mis-matched pair
But a love like that is rare
