Though it's only been a short while,
I've never had a friend like you.
But soon you will be leaving me,
And I don't know what to do.
Your love and understanding
has brought me a new hope--
I wish that i could keep you here
tied to me with a rope.
‘Why do you choose to leave me?’
I ask with confusion and pain.
Don't let me go back to feeling alone;
When will I see you again?
The miles will soon stretch between us--
What will happen to this bond?
Will we reunite to find that
this special tie is gone?
So many questions I have,
My heart filled with fear--
Dreading you will leave me
And never shed a tear.
There's this desperate aching
in my heart that won't let go;
Which leads me to tell you
something you should know:
The friendship that you’ve given me,
The joy that you bring my soul,
has filled me with such strength
and love once unforetold.
How can it be so short?--
This time we’ve spent together.
I thought that you’d remain here
And love me til forever.
Sadly, i’ve been wishfully thinking,
As I now have come to see,
Remember, please, this thought
when you think of me.
We may soon be separated,
But I'll remember you just the same.
Forever in my heart
is where you will remain.
I wish that when you leave
We would remain the best of friends.
You’ll be in my thoughts
until I see you again.
How can I say goodbye?
No words, just tears fall
from my eyes and sobbing heart
that knows you after all--
The hours spent together
will soon dwindle down to few,
forcing me to let you go
and start this year anew.
Sitting without you here to talk to,
Searching for a friendly face
that knows all to well that
they can never be replaced.
