This Night

This Night

This night we meet, briefly, and only to go in different directions
You come to make yourself feel better
And so do I

But also, I come to know however briefly what dreams may have come
I can't stay
But I am here
You can't stay, but you will

What may come in the after life I will know sooner then you
I will not take you with me, fore I will take no one with me
But you will keep me alive in your memory
Until you too follow

This is the natural course of things
And yet it is so mug faster then you would hope
Weakness
Not in death, but in the ability to continue on

Tonight we have both come to feel more human
Tonight you will go your way, and I will go mine
Like so many travellers
At a crossroads
