Saying Goodbye

You come and go so fast

and in my memory you will last.

I wish that you would stay,

even if it were a day,

so we could be together

just like birds of a feather.

I want to spend some time with you,

but those days are gone and through.

It seems too short seeing you,

after all we've been through.

You mean so much to me

and this is what I want you to see.

You were such a good friend

and that is why I don't want it to end.

I know we have to move on

and I have to be strong,

but it hurts so much to say goodbye

and that is why I have to cry.

Author's Notes/Comments:
