"You know, sometimes people don't even know they've fallen until they're on the ground... I'm on the ground for you, Adelaide, and I'm bleeding, but I don't even care because in the end, it's all for you. I love you, Addie." - Caleb

Goodbye, my friend
I'll miss you so
But I wanted you to know
I think I am at peace
with your end.

Goodbye, my friend
I'll miss you bad
I know you're in a better place
But I'll still be sad.

Goodbye, my friend
I'm still upset
Tears still fall
You're in my head
But I know you'll wait for me
So I think I'll set you free

Goodbye, my friend
Rest in peace
I'll miss you so
and I can't sleep
But I know that you'll be there
Goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye.

The author's comments:
Rest in peace, my dear friend. This is in memory of my cat that died only a few days ago.I can't sleep because he used to lay by my feet and fall asleep with me every night. Though I'm not sure if I'm really at peace with his absence, or ready to let him go.
