Goodbye, Dear Friend

In this world, there is no guarantee

that life would be easy

However, I'm still glad

to have friend who acts like my dad

I think that it's because of fate

that we met in such a state

Where the world lived in fear

that in one second they'll disappear

You're the one who believed in me

Even if sometimes I may get cocky

You even kept me on the right track

and said I make a good leader because I suck

I actually thought it was only a joke

When you said my strength is being a weak bloke

But as time passed I realized

'Hey! That idea is not that bad!'

During  one fateful day,

where the Titans came back to slay

I prayed that we'll all be okay

and that all of us will save the day

After the bloody fight

where we lost a lot of life

I was utterly shocked

as I stood in front of a body in half

It's such a tear-jerking, heart-wrenching sight

when I realized that it's you without your usual might

I thought of the scary things that you had to fight

before that fucking Titan took a bite

I didn't even have time to mourn

even if my heart is already torn

but I'll make sure I avenge

The death of you my dear friend

I started to change my ways

and live on a much faster pace

I even joined the Scouting Legion

and gained the Wings of Freedom

I promise I'll do my best

to fight through this mess

Yet I'll always make sure to remember

that I'll cherish our friendship forever

Our friendship will last until the end

but for now, goodbye my dear friend
