Farwell my dear friend

I stand here as I feel my throat tighten

Screaming ‘Farwell my dear friend’

‘My life won’t be the same without you’

But I shall turn around and pretend

 

I meet your gaze a final time

And really wish I had not

My tongue goes loose as I say

I will miss you a lot

 

I feel the need to touch you

Have our fingers intertwined

Caress your hand and sqeeze it

‘Thank you for being kind’

 

We are standing 20 feet apart

As I wave my hand goodbye

I hope you will move on someday

And promise that I’ll try

 

I want to take a step towards you

But my feet tell me to stay

There is no path that leads me to you

I have to go away

 

And so this is our last moment

The place where our souls are severed

Time has rung it’s final bell

You shall forever be treasured

 

I stand here, as I feel my throat tighten

Screaming ‘Farwell my dear friend’

‘My life won’t be the same without you’

But I shall turn around and pretend
