I wait for you to come

I wait for him to come and like an old friend I shall greet him

I wait for your hand to gently clasp my shoulder,
to lead me to the next great adventure.
And when the day comes where I see you once again,
I'll only remorse that I never told her.

Even though others fear you,
you do not scare me.
And even though the others at your approach,
will try to run and flee.
I will greet you like an old friend,
and let you guide me into a world of fantasy.

It may seem strange for me to see you this way,
and to others I sound crazy.
But when it comes down to my final minutes,
I'll be comforted that you came to me.

I'll only regret that I couldn't give her,
the world and all its beauty.
because even in my dying moments,
her angelic image is all I can see.

So my friend I'll see you soon.
To swoop in and take me away.
And whether it be heaven, hell or an entirely new realm.
It is there I shall forever stay.
