WHEN


When the last bright star has fallen
Will you be at my side
To watch the end of time
My friend we have walked long into this night

When the last dream has faded
Will you remember with me
All that we have seen and done
The days have been many that we have shared

When the last words are spoken
Will you lay beside me
In silence and wonder at the universe
Touching with me all that could have existed

When the last thought has passed
Will you finally know me as I know you
In all the simple things that we have been
How have we affected the world around us

When the end has come
I will take your hand in mine
Speak to you without word or thought
You are my friend and that is all that is left
