He didn’t even ask me
He just took me by the hand.
He didn’t even tell me
What it was that he had planned.
As we walked along together
One aware and one confused,
I couldn’t help but wonder
Why he looked so darn amused.
He said nothing, on the journey
Not one word to help me see
Leaving me to try to figure
What was happening to me.
Several times blindly stumbled
Falling squarely on my face,
He just shrugged and waited for me
To get up and take my place.
I know, he knew the answers
I could see it in his eyes.
But never did he tell me
He just left it to surprise.
So on and on and on we went,
Me fumbling, like a fool
And him just up ahead of me
Looking bored but cool.
I wish he would have warned me
Before it was too late,
That he wasn’t there to help me
But to guide me to my fate.
I might have done it better
If I’d have only known
That even though he was with me
I was really on my own.

it's strange how one can be with someone and be alone too, huh?
