The last time I saw him, I knew it was goodbye.
He hugged me, and kissed me tight but I didn't want him to see me cry.
I know its not forever, but he became a close friend of mine.
I know as time goes by he will be ok, and I will be just fine.
As I saw him drive away, I started to shake. Wow, this is not me.
I was so over whelmed that I never got a chance to tell him my true inner feelings, now he's free.
Well, maybe it's better off this way because its not like we're in the same town.
Losing him was something I never imagined.
I wonder what would if happened if the situation was turned around and I was the one leaving town.
Would he of missed me like I miss him, that's a secret we will never know.
I will just have to make my life without him in it, I will have to let him go.
Time passes and I'm surviving, he's made his life far out west.
Every day is like a ticking time bomb without his presence. But hey I'm passing the test.
I know I'm stronger then I can imagine but, its not hearing from him that's sad.
I know what ever we had, time takes it away and that is what's bad.
We go on with new people in our circle of life. But, we never forget the past.
What ever happened before slowly fades and sometimes friendships do not last.
I know as time goes by he will be OK!
And me, well I'm doing fine.
