Friend

Don’t walk away so silently
Passing by looking like you never knew me
Turning eyes away like you don’t care
In a dream whispering my name

Don’t need sweet nights of rhymes
Long dreamless moments of love
Hours of hope, desire in eyes
Seductive lies forever from heart

Don’t need words of love
Just want to believe
That you won’t leave
Me to die alone

I want to be the one whom you can trust
Your life, your beating heart
I want to be pale sunrise in your window, only the dust
Covering the road you go every day
I don’t want to be apart
Let me be your good friend

I will be around when you feel down
I will stay behind till your last day
I will lie next to you when you fall asleep
I will dry your tears and move all fears away

I want to be the one whom you can trust
Your life, your beating heart
I want to be pale sunrise in your window, only the dust
Covering the road you go every day
I don’t want to be apart
Let me be your good friend
