Red


One day you will ask 

Which is the more important 

My life or yours 

I will say mine 

And you will walk away 

Not knowing that you are my life 

 

Did you make that up Stan

No it was Khalil Gibran

 

Do you mean it

Of course I do

I would never write a word

If it was not for you

 

I have noticed that you sometimes quote

Other people

Why do you do that

Because I cannot better their words

 

If I were an artist I would use the colour red

As many other artists have done before me

This does not mean that I am copying their work

I am just using the tools available to me

 

Do you think that people use your words

Yes I have noticed this in the past

Does it annoy or upset you

Not in the least as I am honoured that they do
