don’t want to.
but I know it’s meant to be
never thought I’d care that much
the day you had to leave.

the surprise in my eye
when you say goodbye
betrays denial in my heart
that you would really leave

friendship like the mountains
in dark and stormy days
from the rising to the setting sun
always loyal, always true.

go now. don’t look back
we’ll be fine
you’re guided by the ONE
who leads you by still waters

run and never weary
walk and never faint
and smile every day.
adieu
