My dear friend, <br />close your eyes... <br />hold my hand, <br />and hear me whisper... <br /> <br />For the times I was lost, <br />you were there to look for me. <br />Will you believe me when I say I love you more than you'll ever know. <br />Will you trust me when I say...this time you have to let me go. <br /> <br />My dear friend, I must leave. <br />The world no longer needs me. <br />It's my time to be gone, until we meet again someday. <br />Don't you cry now, I know I'll be okay. <br />Trust that I'll never forget you. <br />Don't be sad now, just close your eyes until it's through. <br />Hold my hand, don't open your eyes yet... <br />wait when I no longer whisper.. <br /> <br />My dear friend, you'll be fine. <br />I'll be up there watching over you. <br />For the times I'll be gone, don't ever forget <br />the words I whispered to you. <br /> <br />God calls on my name... and I have to let go of your hand now... <br />Please don't cry... and smile for me.. <br />because I'm with the one who made us friends. <br /> <br />Remember, I'll always love you. <br />so come, wave me goodbye... <br />It'll be painful but we have to... <br />Hug me, hug me tight, feel the words I can no longer say. <br /> <br />My dear friend, I'm going to miss you. <br />just pray because I'll always listen. <br />and one day, when it's your time, <br />I'll be there for you... <br />Just like the way I used to. <br />...I love you...<br /><br />Kathrine Yee Baraquia<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-a-friend-bids-goodbye/
