Ask me not

Ask me not to stay silent
When a friendship is at stake
To live in isolation
Would be a big mistake
 

Ask me not to forget you
'Cause memories make a life
Though I leave the past behind
I carry on the inner strife
 

Ask me not to move on
Though one day I know I will
I must walk towards the future
Who can truly stand still?
 

Ask me to be loyal, 
to be faithful and true
Ask me to respect your silence 
And let you be you
 

Ask me to wait in patience
And cause you not such woe
But please my dear, 
Ask me not... 
To ever let you go!
