farewell

much of my thoughts lately have gone to friendships in my life

the new
the old
and the fading

a friend lends a shoulder to cry on
an ear to listen
an eye to guide
and a heart to love

it's hard to let friendships go
ones that were once so colourful
but now are dawning grey

i try not to lie to myself, i feel alone
I've taken a different path
one that leads away from the past

i don't want to be pulled back
yet I'm afraid to run full force forward

i must make a decision,

move forward and take the risk of losing or stay still but live the life i've given up.

i know what i need to do, so

this is my declaration, my moment, my time to speak

and say

goodbye.
