The Toughest Goodbye

thought it was over
no where to turn
tried to choke back the tears
but the pain started to burn

i didn't think it could happen
it seemed like a dream
when will i wake up?
what does it all mean?

i've been dreading this day
thought i could stay strong
but even the toughest of the tough
couldn't hold back this long

it was nearing the end
the finish in sight
i wish i could stop time
because i don't think i'll be alright

i looked at her face
and that said enough
it wasn't just me
who thought it was so tough

i will miss her so much
more than she'll ever know
the pain aches inside
and now it's starting to show

i gave her a hug
and then gave in
all those tears
i was holding within

they all poured out
like a river of pain
and wouldn't stop
they were going insane

she told me this
as i hugged her more
she could barely talk
it was such a chore

"i love you so much
you've been such a great friend
and just because i'm leaving
doesn't mean it's the end"

i thought about that
and roughed out a smile
i knew it wasn't over
and wouldn't be for a while

but still the thought
of having her leave
was the hardest thing ever
one i couldn't believe

but i did say this
something i've wanted to say for long
"thanks for being my friend
and helping me along"

"i will never forget you
even if we're apart
there will always be a place for you
right in my heart"

as i said this i cried
and she did too
i thought of all the memories
we both have been through

she is my best friend
partner in crime
i will never forget her
even over time
