Farewell

My time here has come to an end,

a painful farewell to a dear old friend.

I have never grieved in such a way,

yet I still see you every single day.

I didn't want this to be real,

I dreaded the hurt, despised the feel.

Yet in this trip I have changed,

inching closer to enlightened.

Still, here I sit like you, alone and frightened .

I learned today I am content with me,

because of your direction, I am starting to see.

I made your place mine, it didn't feel right,

I laid my head on your pillow, smelling you all through the night.

Although it brought me comfort,

It still just didn't feel right.

Everywhere we went, there you were,

you are with me always, for that I am sure.

Please my friend take comfort in knowing,

that I love you and I will keep going.
