• It’s not a hangover it’s not an epiphany it’s fact, it’s me understanding. While you would leave your light on you don’t care much about sacrifice. So I encourage you to go. But if you walk away, I’ll still stand right here. I won’t be waiting for anything but I’ll stand holding a simple card with a few words on it. You won’t care what that card says, you will have walked away. And I won’t wait. But life is tough and it will remind you of just that when you forget. You will need a friend to survive, luckily you keep a revolving list of those Friends, revolving friends are great but their commitment is slight. They’ll come and go and one day they’ll all be gone, and you’ll think you are alone. That’s when the clouds will gather above your head and life will rain down on you, hail will bombard your friendless soul. It’s then you will walk a familiar road. When you walk that estranged path you will find me along the way, I promise. When you find me you’ll smile and I’ll smile because you smile, and I will be standing holding that card “Friend for Life” it will say. With my card in your pocket I’ll be your umbrella for the storm that is life You’ll leave your light on for me, for awhile at least. After the storm passes the card will whither away, or you will just misplace it But future turns to past and history does repeat. Lucky for you I have a endless stack of those cards.
