Goodbye

No one ever thought that going to the same place every week could make your 
life never the same
It’s amazing how fast the year came and went in the blink of an eye
I never thought this would all make me cry
Leaving has become harder and harder to say goodbye

I’ll miss the times we laughed instead of played
Just sitting and talking about life would always make my day
No matter what happened that day you always let me spill my guts
I’m sure there were some points when you thought I was nuts

Most people would let an injury get in their way
But instead you made my 18th birthday one of the greatest days
I loved going to your shows to see you play
I can’t believe today is really the final day

You were the first person to ever read my book
And all the poems I wrote when I was feeling blue
I know I rarely practiced and never seemed to care
But I swear I really did

I hope we still keep in touch
Everything has meant so much
I hate the fact that I’m leaving and we’ll be so far apart
But you will forever be in my heart
