Has the end come
Is it near?
Could it be
You’re moving away from me
And I’m moving away from you?
Good bye is hard for me
Always have
And always will,
But somehow
It is harder
To say good bye to you.
We met 4 years ago,
And my oh my
Those years flew by.
One day I was
A shy freshman
The next
I’m standing in my cap and gown
On the same stage you stood on
A year ago.
I fear good bye,
That it is forever,
That we’ll never cross paths again.
That we have met the end
Its time to say good bye.
So my dear friend
Good bye,
I miss you so much,
Though we’re still near
I love you
Though you broke my heart.
Good bye,
My friend,
The memories we shared
I hold close.
Our first kiss
I shall always remember.
The first day we met
I cherish above
All other memories of ours.
You say we’ll be together again
That we’ll always be friends
But as I look in your eyes
I can’t help but cry
I don’t want to leave your embrace
I want to stay forever
Here with you in your arms
This is perfection,
Heaven on earth
Whenever I’m with you.
When we are apart,
It hurts me,
I feel so sad,
But when we talk till late at night
I sit on my bed smiling
Thinking of you
And laughing at your jokes.
Could it be time
For us to say good bye?
For us to go down different paths?
To be honest
When we first met
I never knew how close
We would become
And now I can not
Imagine a day
Without texting you,
Or talking on the phone.
Will you come to visit?
When I’m up in Oregon,
Studying to become
A coach and athletic trainer
Will one day
I have a visit
From you?
Will we walk side by side
Through my campus
And talk like old times?
Will you call me
At 11:30 at night again
Just to hear my voice?
Will come to give me a hug
When I text you saying I’m sad?
Will it be
When good bye comes
It isn’t forever,
But just for a time?
That we’ll always be friends,
Special friends,
Close friends.
The people who when we grow up
And become adults
We’ll still talk
And reminisce about our youth
About marching band
And concert band,
Jazz band too.
About math class together
And our days alone together.
Please tell me,
Wipe away my tears,
Tell me that
Our good bye
Is not forever
But only for a time…
Because Jerry,
I don’t want us
To have to say good bye.
I hate good byes
Always have
And always will.
I pray
Our good bye
Is only for a time.
