My long-life friend, I love you,
Though to my bitter disappointment,
I sadly must see you go,
It won’t be the same without you,
I just thought you ought to know.
The fond memories we shared,
Made us naive enough to believe,
We’d never be apart,
Yes you are leaving me,
But you will never leave my heart.
It would not hurt me so bad,
Waiving at you in the distance,
If I knew what the future holds,
But you being gone feels so strange,
The world suddenly feels so cold.
You kept me sane, grounded,
It feels like I’m losing part of myself,
But it would be wrong to ask you to stay,
Maybe it’s time we both need space to grow.
How am I supposed to express how I felt about so many years?
In so little time, no time left for anymore hugs or good-byes.
How am I supposed to cope with this?
You have always been a part of my life,
I haven’t felt loss like this in so long,
Never feeling this again would not have been too long.
There is no comfort in new beginnings,
Leaving behind what I have always known,
I feel so scared and so alone, but still you must go…
