~~When There's Nobody Else~~

When there's nobody else

I start to wonder

Why I stick around

When I'm all alone

I start to ask myself

Why I'm left behind

When there's no one else but me

I can't help but think

I chose the wrong road

When I take the road less travelled by

I stand at the crossroads and see

People walking on by

When I start to follow them

They fade away like ghosts

And I try to chase them

When I hear the voice speak

"Don't run after those

"Who don't wait for you."

When I hear the voice

I freeze, and ask it

"Who are you?"

"When there's nobody else

"There's always me,

"Your voice, your soul, it's me."

When I smile, I turn and go back

And resume the walk down

The road less travelled by

When I reach the next crossroad

And look back, I know I'll see

All of those who had not waited for me

Staggering down the road they travelled by.
