The Companion

I shall begin

To appear too often.

You will not recall

When first you saw me.

I shall arrive

At the light beside you.

Catching a plane

You will observe me.

I will never speak.

I will never ignore you.

I shall open a door.

You will pass before me.

I will stand

Ina line behind you.

Whatever you do

I will be the same.

Nobody else

Will ever believe you.

Soon you will find

You are looking for me.

The day will come,

It is getting closer,

When I shall stand

At every corner.

Then you will know

That you deserve me

And there will be

No more excuses.
