Letters to Him

If thy were to stay here in our hometown

then thou would never have to bid farewell;

Thou eyes, true blue, and they hair light brown.

"Goodbye" you say? My eyes swell, I shan't not dwell;

The friendship we shared, a decade strong

Ev'ry moment spent with thee, deja vu.

"I love thee! I love thee!" I knew all along

Forever will I miss those eyes, true blue;

Pray, do let us have one last dance together.

Twirling round and "I don't wanna miss a thing"

I look in those eyes, light as a feather.

Thy face becomes hazy, the clock doth ring.

So, shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

No... I could never find thine right words to say.

I'm looking in your eyes not like a "friend" should.

You tell me that you're leaving, leaving for good.

The tears stream as I realize

7 hours away is the school you'll attend.

Then I wipe away the sad to face you

because I know all we'll ever be is just friends.

My heart beats fast when I think of you there.

Your life flashes before me,

the nights that we shared.

"It was the depression that killed him"

"He took his own life"

To live without you is not life at all.

I can only imagine my end, my fall.

And if you have days when enough is enough,

remember your strength inside, you're tough.

But the reason I'm writing is to not give strength.

It's actually for me, to give my thanks.

Thank you for listening, the chats, and the hugs.

Thank you for being my bottle of drugs.

You keep me sane, and I know this is lame.

I wrote this whole poem without any shame.

But in a year or so when we're apart

remember I'm beside you always. Forever at heart.

And whenever your mind is consumed in doubt.

Always remember breathe in...breathe out.
