A Friend Is Leaving Me

a friend of mine is making its way
away from my nights away from my day
i see her waving at me from that distance
but only 'goodbye' is all i can say

a friend of mine is going away
to that distant land where no life can stay
still i see no tears, just a brief smile
she has such a 'good willpower', is all i can say

a friend of mine is leaving me grey
i dont find myself anymore now, happy and gay
her memories is all that keeps me ocuupied
but i cant stop her from going and ask her to stay

a friend of mine is leaving for the ultimate fray
making this debt of happiness harder to pay
still, she seems to be so strong
but all i wish is for success on her way
