saying goodbye

I guess all things must come to an end
even the friendship of a best friend
I don't want you to feel so bad
that this loss makes me so sad
time takes over and makes us grow up and apart
but even if I have to let you go, you'll always be in my heart
I'll still always be here when you need me
to my heart, you will always hold the key
I'll never let the love I have for you go
It'll alwayus be there I want you to know
it isn't your fault we've grown apart
there was always a chance of ending from the start
so don't feel you have to take the blamew
and I'll have to learn to do the same
I love you so much, more than you could know
how it hurts inside to let you go
but I don't want to tie you down to me
with a feeling of obligation of a friendship that used to be
I know it doesn't mean that you don't care, it just means we have separate lives and new friends
and the world we shared together has come to an end
but I'll always be just a phone call away
and my door is always open if you need a place to stay
Kevin, I really do love you so
I never thought I'd have to let you go
just give me a hug and hold me tight
a goodbye kiss, everything will be alright
here it is my time to say goodbye
turn your head and walk away so you don't see me cry
call me sometime just to say hello
keep in touch, I don't want to lose track of you, you know
go now, these tears are flowing from my eyes
I love you.....goodbye


*wow, these are all really old so they just make me nostalgic, sometimes in bittersweet ways when I am typing them up, but this one just makes me sad, since it was to my friend Kevin who killed himself last year, even though this was written in like 1997 or 98 when we just hadn't been close in a while, but we eventually found our way back into eachothers lives for a few more years.... sigh
