Original Submission by Emmie Blythe

A Friend

Give me your hand.

Let’s start a band.

Let’s tour the world,

Keep the crowds at the palms of our hands

Give me your hand.

Let’s rent out a barn and a farm.

Let’s be where the fireflies are,

And pick a flower, bake a cake,

And read a book to fall asleep.

Give me your hand.

Let’s open a cafe.

A sign with a witch and a cat.

Or let’s head to the woods and never look back.
