The Friend

Light grew dim
You walked me home
We talked

You called me
we talked some more

I confessed sometimes I get utterly lonely
Can't find my way
and peace of mind

You took my hand
And whispered "That's all right"
Accept it as a piece of you
Give it a shape and a color

It might pop up every once in a while, but always remember
It's not the whole of you
Just a piece, a small part

So never give up
Keep looking
I will help you

And I cried:
"I need you
please never leave my side"

You only smiled
and said: "You know that's not possible.
But you can think of me whenever you like"

"Life's so tough
I can't find my way in it
the easy way I used to
Please please please stay"

You took my hand
"I would if I could
but you know damn well that I don't exist"
