dear old friend.

i'm lucky to have friends so great that it's hard to say goodbye.
but that doesn't make it easier to let them go.
goodbye is hard to say.
my mouth hurts to form the word.
it doesn't fit on my lips.

i just don't want them to go.
they have taught me so much, helped me through
and now i'm on my own
no more guidance or advice
or laughter.
real, sincere, can'tholditin laughter
no dog treats
just emptiness where it all used to be

only memories.

such dear friends.
how will i laugh ever again?
i'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend.
when i know it's just not the same as having you next to me.
