Not too long ago,
you told me one day you would leave.
As the days passed by,
i never thought to believe.
After a few years,
we never spoke of it again.
But it was still on my mind,
and I would ask you now and then.
Were you serious when you said it,
that someday you would be gone?
Will you still keep in touch,
will you keep the friendship bond?
She looked me in the eye,
and I could tell she felt my pain.
I said I won't leave until I get an answer,
even if I have to stand here in the rain.
For the longest time,
she never said a word.
And the next thing I knew,
this is what my ears heard.
She told me that she loved me,
that I was like her sister.
I was the only best friend she had,
and the one person who understood her.
She said she didn't want to hurt me,
she wishes she didn't have to go.
But she knows there is so much out there,
and she told me not to woe.
She wants to see what life was like,
especially outside of this town.
She knows that she will be something great,
so she told me not to frown.
I said how can you expect me not to hurt,
when my best friend is leaving me?
There will be an empty space in my heart,
it will tear me up inside can't you see?
We have our entire lives
to go travel and explore.
Why can't you just open your eyes,
and see that here is so much more?
Don't get me wrong,
I support you all the way.
Just know this much,
I will keep begging you to stay.
I never would have thought,
what she did at that moment.
She gave me a hug and said goobye,
and told me not to comment.
I saw in her eyes,
as the tears began to fall,
I knew she would come back for me,
and she would not forget me at all.
I stood there and watched her,
as she was walking down the street.
I never thought I would cry so much,
my heart began to skip a beat.
The next thing I knew,
she was no longer there.
I kept trying to find her,
but there was no luck anywhere.
Days and years passed,
I went on with my life.
I keep wondering though,
if what she did was right.
Everytime I think about it,
I begin to cry.
Thinking how stupid I was,
because I never got to say goobye.
