Memorable Goodbye

I fear to see the day when I say goodbye,

I fear to see the day when you might cry,

I fear to see the day when I leave all my friends behind,

I fear the day when I return and my friends have a different frame of mind,

I love the days when I see you smile,

I love the days when you ask if I can stay for a while,

I love the days when I can do nothing but laugh,

I love the days when we take that perfect photograph,

So while I’m scared to say goodbye,

And I beg you sincerely not to cry,

I leave this photograph to remember me by,

So that you can see time went by,

That photograph to remember where you were,

So that you can remember before life becomes a blur,

Remember the twilight night lights on the skyline,

And the breathtaking moments under the moon’s shine,

Remember me when I’m gone,

Those moments poetic as a black swan,

I’ll hold them dear to remember what matters,

And hope that it never shatters,

I’ll miss you all, it is all of you that matter.
