My Last Goodbye

This is my last goodbye to you,
My life-long, cherished friend.

Somehow, someway, I think we both knew
That all of this would end.

This is my last goodbye to you,
So I'm saving my requests.

If you feel you need to leave me now,
It's probably for the best.

This is my last goodbye to you;
I'm leaving you with the memories.

I'm hoping they will encourage you
To always remember me.

This is my last goodbye to you,
And I will see you no more.

It's really none our faults
That fate has shut the last door.

This is my last goodbye to you,
My life-long, cherished friend.

Though I may never again see you,
Remember: this is not the end.
