Choice - (Shakespearean Sonnet)
Join me in an adventure, that we may,

should you want to say that you want to stay
than don't feel regret, for I heard your voice
When the sun sets soon shall I be long gone
For the sun is like me, and when I leave
So will the sun but don't expect me at dawn
Though I might return during new years eve
And should you come we shall explore the land
From east to west, from land to land, we will
face hardship and fun for it will be grand,
to travel the world, uphill and downhill
I understand you having a big shock
But before you run you must learn to walk
