Would You?
Your friend slowly falls into the black abyss and slowly fades away soon he/she becomes translucent and no longer can you see him/her.
You peer over the edge and stare at the blackness and mourn for your friend... you partner... your best friend.
You soon back away slowly... with glazed eyes... you turn and walk away thinking and remembering all the past times you enjoyed together
The time you sat together laughing at things only you two found funny... talking together endlessly with open ears and an open heart... saving each other when in peril... encouraging each other when in doubt... and saying goodbye... to save one another’s life.
What you remember can only stay in your head... you long to re-live the experiences... but you can't. It can never be re-lived because you aren't in control in time.
You can't take back the times you argued... only regret... and ask for forgiveness... You can't ever fix the small mistake that nearly took your life and theirs... You only look back and laugh about it...
You can't see as you walk, 'Cause all these memories have caused tears to well up in your eyes... You begin to trail from the path and walk into a dark, deep, hole that seems to have no end....
Then you hit rock bottom... you lay there thinking and counting your last seconds and the last breaths you take in... Then you slowly exhale and never inhale. You wake up in a green pasture... it was all just a dream or was it....?
Would you change what you had dreamed if it did come true... Would you substitute your life for theirs when the time comes...
