A Friend’s Farewell

A Friend’s Farewell

by Melody Pabz

 

Together we shared both bitter and sweet

Expecting a hundred years of friendship

How could I know you’d go one evening

Without telling me that you are leaving?

 

I still remember the last hour

When the sky was full of tiny silver stars

You held me and you said goodbye

Then suddenly tears fell from my eyes

 

I stay alone in a lonely room

Gazing at the bright moon

I went to the window

My heart was full of sorrow

 

Thinking of a distant friend

I thought our friendship would never end

My tears just like the rain

Will I see you,my friend, again?
