For my friend..


This is all a journey,
and neither of us knows
    the destination.
 Let us just enjoy
whatever road we travel together,
 for however long fate allows,
no matter where it all ends.
Hold my hand, sweet friend
and walk beside me
 for there are places
 I do not wish
  to go without you.

Hints of death in this poem. A little unsettling. Although I may have totally read it wrong.

I think everyone sees something different here. One friend said it reminded him of marriage, another told me she saw the journey into old age in the poem.
I will leave you to your own interpretation, and I appreciate the comments, and the insight, as always.
