What would you do

What would you do
what would say
if you knew your best friend
could die any day

would you tell them the truth
or tell them a lie
look them in the face
or turn away so they didn't see you cry

would you tell them you loved them
and will never let go
or just act normal
and not let the pain show

would you wake up every morning
and thank god they are still here
or would you curse god
for taking a friend so dear

would you promise them anything
and never let them down
would you smile at them when they
say they will always be around

would you thank them for having changed your life
or laugh with them about how you two caused so much strife

would you take in each word
as if it were keeping you alive

would you be filled with happiness and joy and not know what to say
just because your friend made it through one more day

would you look at the world as if it were brand new
and remember you promised you would live your life for two

would you want to hold them
and never let them go
would you wish upon every star
that you wouldn't let the tears show

what would you do
what would you say
if you watched your best friend
slowly die everyday?
