See You Soon

There's never a right time to say goodbye

 

But please don't let them make you sad

 

For we must say goodbye before we can meet again.

 

And meeting again after moments or years

 

Is certain for those who are friends.

 

And some friends are like stars in the sky

 

You can't always see them but you know they are there

 

And I'm so lucky to have something that makes it so hard to say goodbye to

 

but good friends don't say goodbye, they say see you soon.

 

so never say goodbye because goodbye means going away forever and going away forever means forgetting.

 

and friendship is about understanding and not arguing 

 

it means forgiveness and not forgetting.

 

but most of all, it means the memories last even if contact is lost.

 

and you and I will meet again

 

when we are least expecting it, in a far off place

 

I'll recognize your face

 

So I refuse to say goodbye my friend

 

for you and I shall meet again.


The author's comments:

This poem is really important to me because when I wrote it, my summer camp program had just ended. I was feeling really depressed all the time, and when I went to camp, I had felt the happiest I had felt in a really long time. I stopped being sad and stopped the self-harm. I made a lot of friends, and it made me realize how badly I needed help.
