Whenever

We've been wandering for quite some time now.
Not sure where we are going
But less sure of where we have just been.
We are hopelessly lost.
You are Hansel. I am Gretel.
The crumbs are gone.
They've been swept away.
If by the wind or another that is following us,
Trying to enhance our confusion,
I am unsure.
But I will always be with you.
Whenever you need me.

We will stick it out,
Find our way
Through the rough and the thorns,
Hand in hand.
I will always be here,
Maybe not physically,
But I will always be with you.
Whenever you need me.

We'll be each other's compass.
Help find our own true north.
When the trees are too tall
When the brush is too thick
When the hollow tree casts shadows
That dilute your courage,
I will always be with you
Whenever you need me.
