conFUSEd or burned FUSE?

by boToi

When are we seeing and not just looking?
When are we living and not just breathing?

When are we talking and not just speaking?
When are we friends and not just acquaintances?

When is it a job and not just work?
When is it "I'll do my best" and not just "I'll try my best"?

When is it wrong and not just a mistake?
When is it cruel and not just frankness?

When is it vanity and not just pride?
When is it talent and not just luck?

When is it deceiving and not just misleading?
When do we grasp and not just understand?

When is it a "dream come true" and not just achievement?
When is it a journey and not just a destination?

When is it madness and not just crazy?
When is it depression and not just sadness?

When is it love and not just affection?
When is it loneliness and not just solitude?

When is it a burden and not just responsibilty?
When is it a sacrifice and not just giving?

When is it "how are you?" and not just hello?
When is it bygone and not just goodbye?

When is it stupid and not just naive?
When is it courage and not just strength?

When is it obsession and not just desire?
When is it gluttony and not just indulgence?


When is it coffee and not just Starbucks?
