A Goodbye Poem

Another school year has come and gone.
Not only was it our freshman year but
it was a year where I made friends
and lost friends, a year of drama,
and a year of good times full of memories.

Most of all, it was the year that I met you.
Sure there was a lot of crap we went
through but we've managed to stay true.
It didn't take long to become friends with you.
You are sweet, cute, funny and loving.
I know that whenever something is wrong
you'll be one of the first I'll turn to.

You always listen and give advice and support.
I just wish your stay didn't have to be so short.
I love you to death and I want you to know
I'll always be here, even if you call by phone.

It's so sad to see you leave but at least
the distance isn't really as far as it seems.
Forty-five minutes to an hour isn't
too long of a drive for a nice visit.
Your laugh, your smile, your silliness,
the feel of your hand holding mine
tight at a scary movie. I'll miss all of it.

And I'm sure you'll find some
awesome friends at your new school.
Just be yourself like you always are
and everyone will see that you're cool.
Well what I'm really trying to say throughout
this whole poem is I love you so much.
In finding you I guess I was really
blessed with a lot of good luck.

Remember to call and visit
often for we will all miss you.
The amount of memories I will
treasure you could never even
begin to have a clue.
I'm glad I have so many for this
short year we shared together.
Forget you I could never.

Before you leave and then head off
for a new school I wanted to say
goodbye and send my love, blessings,
and this goodbye poem with you.
