Goodbye, Best Friend

Published by Family Friend Poems March 2011 with permission of the Author.

Things may change from this day on.
Here with us is where you belong.
Someone like you there is no other.
You're the closest thing I have to a brother.

You have only been in my life for quite a short while,
But even when I'm down you seem to make me smile.
That place in my heart you will always stay.
Such good memories, they will never fade away.

The tears I shed, I shed for you,
But now it's time to make your dreams come true.
For all the times you have helped me out,
A good future ahead of you, I have no doubt.

You gave me confidence, you gave me pride.
Even when you're gone I'll be by your side.
For all those fears in which we shared.
To say goodbye, I'm not prepared.

For you, I'll hold my head up high,
Keep myself strong to say goodbye.
It may hurt, and I may cry.
I think to myself and I wonder why.

What we'll do, I really don't know.
All I know is I will never let go.
You're a true friend, for that is true.
When I was down, I came to you.

I am so glad that we became friends,
But this isn't where our journey ends.
The memories we have will last forevermore.
I will always love you, for that I'm sure.

Always in my heart and in my heart you will stay.
I can't believe today's the day.
You made me stronger, and that I believe,
But now it's time to let you leave.
