I Will Be a Friend

The clock is winding down
The time to choose a path comes
We both are standing still
But your road calls to you.

Your world will change
The old and the new
Do I stay and watch you go?
Do I go with you?

I do not know if your road
Will welcome me
I don't know, will you?
Soon you will have to answer me
And I will have to answer you.

I look ahead, the road bends
I cannot see far
My eyes gets drawn back to your face
Resolute eyes, with a trace of hope
Or despair.

I will be a friend
Whether part of the old, or the new
Will be my unanswered question
It really is up to you.

For you, H.
