The benefits of having a friend Is that you cherish them When the fog glooms They clear it from the sky Stars connecting your time with them But what happens when it's an addiction? An obsession? Suddenly you can't let them go The one piece of your life you must hold on to Like an obsession to substances You would go crazy without it Losing the one who you cared about The umbrella that is hard to hold During a thunderstorm It is very painful to lose Sometimes they fade into a stranger Foggy memories of you "Do they still care about me?" "What did I do wrong?" Nothing, people just change Other times they are forced They move across the country Meet new people Forget their old life Including you in it Sadly, that is my friend They are moving away next month I fear we would become strangers The cord to late night chats and giggles Would be cut short and forgotten about I am addicted to this substance It feels good being with it But sometimes it has to go away Not just to protect me But you as well These side effects are keeping me guessing Why am I here without you? I get it, you miss your family So, I won't stop you... I just want time with you before you disappear
