You are my friend

#** You are my friend…..** One of maybe two or three I give that label to and now you’re moving far away I don’t know what to do Of all the people in my life you're one I like the most *And when you’re gone I fear I’ll be a lost and empty ghost* ***In rough times you could make me laugh No matter if crying That’s how it was for you and I Song birds always singing*** Seldom in life those come along with whom you just connect No effort needed to belong Each other, you both get In a dark sky, you’re my North Star Beacon of light and hope But now it’s just an empty space Left with six feet of rope And selfishly, in fact I'd do about most anything If I could get you not to leave Forever we could sing But doing so would mean that you Would live life in a cage Taking away what makes you, You It wouldn’t be the same I’m not that selfish even though the pain rips at my core I’d take it for eternity If it meant you weren’t sore ***My dearest friend I hope you know I love you very much*** *And even though you won’t be close; Can not reach out and touch* I know we’ll talk and even see each other time to time When touching base or catching up To know each other’s fine But like a tide, sometimes in life Friendships will ebb and flow Each person has a life to live And down a path we go And even in those times when we might drift further apart ***You’re someone I’ll always hold near and cherish in my heart*** Fly Fly ***away now little bird Go off and spread your wings*** And I’ll wait here till you return When once again we sing #
