Friends don't let friends do stupid things... alone.


On top of one hill
There lies a small bench
Just waiting for someone to find it

It's hidden quite well
Way up between trees
Shaded and shadowed and veiled

Perfectly Concealed
Yet out in plain sight
If only you know where to look

It’s a bench full of secrets
And secrets of secrets
And stories yet to unfold

A bench where the world is only a bench
Where worries and fears float away
Perfect and simple, deep and complex

Is it only a bench?

There is a bench near my house, similar to this. Many of my favorite memories took place here, and I wanted to do it some justice.
