Goodbyes
Don’t go
I’ll miss your voice
I’ll miss trying to time leaving just right
So that we could walk to class with each other
I’ll miss looking at the patches on your backpack
Lest we forget
I will not forget you for as long as I live
Because you will forever be the one
The one that got away
The one that made me see
The clover on your collar
The color green
That will cling to my memories
As I try to forget and move on with life
In anguish and mixed feelings
Our midnight conversations
I would stay up all night for just one more word
One last word about the future
Or two of the past
Or three last words of the heart
Your standing just around the corner
But I am held back
Bound by years of bonds
That I can’t just break
Too much time I can’t just throw away
As i throw all caution to the wind
Scattering my relationships
I hear you leaving
Walking away with friends in tow
Yet I am not there I’m not with you like I should be
Like we could be
Naive hopes that keep me warm at night
As if the fairy tale you whispered to me could come true
As if happy endings
The truth is getting in the way of my favorite story
Just as your song told me not to
The song you live by
The song I wish I could live by with you
My song is different it plays a different tune
One you can’t conform to
So here is where we part
Forever connected by long car rides
And drunken lullabies
Separated by adulthood
Goodbye my friend
My peer, my co-star
Goodbye
