A song for Robert and Emilie on the occasion of their engagement

I know a programmer, he works in native search

I know a publisher, she works with tiny books

and he just proposed to her because they're so in love

But that's not what they are, they're also other things

like they're poets and my dear old friends

and how can you ever know a friend, but by the ones they choose to love

and how can you ever know a friend, but by the one they choose to love
