To My Inmate

how can it be?
how can you suddenly
be so far away from me?
you cant come with me
so I will have to miss you so very badly..
the food trips
the late night talks
your laugh everytime i tripped over something..
your 'your-so-dumb' look eveytime I talk like im out of this world
and Icould not thank you enough for that
I do not want to feel sad..
Out there, i'll be looking forward
to be home again.
so don't be sad too..
Just think of the day
when I was just sitting here
I am not really gone..
i haven’t left ur side at all,
not even for a short  while..
I apologize I cannot see you on your big day..
but on the next 'big day' I promise I'll be there..
so dont think this is parting..
for this is not..
Just think I'll be away for a short vacation
a trip for a better start..
I will miss you my inmate..
but who knows?
Who knows indeed?
maybe I haven’t really left
maybe the friendship Ive always kept
has woven a golden thread
a thread that shall remain
forever
and we’ll never ever need
to say goodbye..
