Are you a shining star?
Or a falling comet?
Are you the draining water current?
Or a cloud reaching the sky?
Are you the bright sunrays?
Or blazing fire?
Are you a companion who will stand by?
Or a friend who will remain as a memory?
Are you the happiness of a fulfilled dream?
Or the instigation of a desire?
Are you the obstacle created by the situation?
Or the answer given by the time.
