This track is for, and about, 
Vasmeth.
In the beginning, we were drawn together by a near perfect alignment of our interests. Each of us feeling lucky and blessed to have found the other, we became friends very quickly. Bonds were shared, deepened.
But one day, that all changed. For better or for worse, a change in views put us solidly on opposing sides of what it meant to love someone. He felt sad; I felt betrayed, and we went our separate ways. How could something so beautiful suddenly turn so bad?
A considerable amount of time passed..... he came back, said he wanted me to be happy, and could we try again? It was such a lure.... it was almost perfect. I decided to try again, and for a brief, wonderful couple of days things were just like the old times.
But this morning, I awoke to a strange journal, and as I went to ask him what had happened, he told me he was going back again. I was crushed.
As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Beware of the almost perfect; you will cause yourself so much pain trying to make it work because it would be -so awesome- if you could just solve that one last bit... but you'll never admit to yourself that that last bit is not going to change. You'll keep hurting yourself the more you keep at it.
As I put to Vasmeth this morning:
Flare: Two people almost perfect for each other... with one glaring item that cannot be reconciled. The pair really want to make it work, because they're so close! But there's no way to close that gap.
Flare: So they keep trying, and hurting each other, and trying, and hurting each other
Flare: Because it's almost perfect!
Flare: So close. So very close.
Flare: But it's not to be, and the allure of being almost perfect makes it all the harder to walk away.
Flare: It's a trap.
So this tone poem contains my pain, my anguish, my sorrow, my anger, my uncertainty. I cannot cast it aside. Why the song ends on a happy note is probably my heart really wishing things could be alright again. At some point my brain will step in and tell me how much of a fool I was for the attempt.

"It was such a lure.... it was almost perfect". I couldn't help but be drawn to the idea, is what this meant.
"As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. " This is an old folk saying that means if something happens to you once, it's not so much your fault. If you let the same thing happen to you again you've got nobody to blame except yourself.
"Flare: But it's not to be, and the allure of being almost perfect makes it all the harder to walk away.
Flare: It's a trap." As I explained to you this morning before we got to this point, the situation we found ourselves in is indeed a trap. Not one you intended to set, nor one I think you wanted to end up in.
