I’ve thought the world of you

In case you didn’t know

But things being what they are

It’s hard to let you go

Goodbye is not a word

I would want to say

But sooner or later

I must be on my way.

I’ll have so much to remember you by

No need to fret about me

And if only by your friendship

I wish there more to be.

For this time went by so fast

It seems so lost to me

Happy to have had that time

For (soon) you, again I will not see.

So I’ll say goodbye to you my soul mate friend

And hope the best to thee

For there was not much to us

And here’s to whatever shall be.
