He said I am his friend.

If I don't return within reasonable time, tell my mother that I love her.

and if I remind you of some sort of creature that returns to its vomit, I guess you should let me eat it. 

Or am I like an ant who knows he's walking towards a repetitive stomp. I am just like him.

But if I do return, it wouldn't be on my own account. In this case I would only have been saved from myself.
