Journey

Off You Go

You had always been in my presence

For all these years.

We always had this youthful essence,

Altogether overcoming fears,

Going on adventures

To learn life's lectures.

-

You had always been with me

For all this time.

You often saw me

When the school bells chime.

We both hated school

Because we were too cool.

-

You had been with me longer

Than I know

Other than my father and mother.

We used to walk in thick snow,

Throwing snowball at each other

And playing hockey with my brother.

-

But then off you go.

For the very first time in eternity

I don't see you do

Things together like we used to do in the fraternity.

I see your still face

For the very last time in this solemn place.

-

I hope that you'll be in bliss

You'll be missed.

A/N: I wrote this poem loosely based on the poem "Take Her Away, Safe" from Take Her Away, Safe by Sun_Lily. She's new, but I'm sure her poems are great. Comment, vote, and share. Over and out.
