You warm ice surrounding
Little more each day
The motions of your skilled hands
And sincere words you say

Are you sick of me?
My list of endless flaws
Holding me in such high regard
Deserve round of applause

Here at my worst
Still look at me the same
Knowing me before
Monster I became

Not judging the slightest
My less-than-pure lifestyle
Around you can be myself
You'll like me all the while

Just seeing handsome face
Brings smile to mine
Struggle with constant depression
In your presence fine

To make this last an eternity
Give up all I own
No words to describe excitement
When I see you messaged my phone

You give reason to wake up in the morning
Make me want to survive
Usually spend time just existing
With you I feel alive

But I know it is coming to an end
Forever wouldn't be long enough
Distance might make our hearts fonder
The absence sure will be tough

To put simply
"I'll miss you"
It's so much more than that
When you leave I'll lose a piece of me
Will be the place you are at

Live to the fullest
All you're meant to be
While you're out there succeeding
Try to not forget about me
For my special friend who shipped off to be in the military
