asking a friend what they'd do
If I were to die tomorrow what would you do?
Would you cry by my graveside,
Or would you just go about you life?
Would you pray for my good being in the Spirit World,
Or would I fade into memory?

How about if I was just seriously injured?
Would you sit by my bed in the hospital everyday,
Or would you just tell everyone else why I wasn’t at school?
Would you nurse me back to health,
Or would I become the boy of yesterday?

What if I was mourning my parents death?
Would you offer me condolence when I couldn’t hold the tears,
Or would you give me funny looks because I was crying?
Would you offer me a place to stay,
Or would I have to stay with my aunts?

What about when I get out of surgery?
Would yours be the first face I saw when I awoke,
Or would you just see me when I got back to school?
Would you carry my books up stairs,
Or would you laugh at my struggle?

What about the times when nothing bad happens?
Would you be thankful that I’m okay,
Or would you take it for granted that I’m protecting you?
Would you prey that I would be okay ‘till next we meet,
Or would you just go about your life as normal?

Then what would you do if I just hugged you out of the blue?
Would you hug me back and offer a kiss,
Or would you push me away because we were in a public place?
Would you hug me like you life depended on it,
Or would you complain when I never let go?

What would happen if I said I love you where all our friends could hear?
Would you say “I love you too”
Or just get embarrassed and look away?
Would you give me a kiss on the cheek as your answer,
Or would you leave me to hope you simply don’t feel like replying?

I ask these things, in the pursuit of knowledge.
Why I need to know is for me only
But just know that all theses things,
Are things I would do for you.
