I could whisper one thousand prayers
I could search lost shadows of souls
I could join a symphony and love all the music in it,
but I could never find another friend like you...

When you leave this sordid place,
life will go on, I know.
But my tears will fall, my heart will rust,
it's beat will slow.

I will fall asleep at night thinking of you, of the memories we've made, the laughs we've shared, and all the sad times too.
I don't want you to leave me, though selfish I cannot be.
I want you to go after your dreams; go out on your own, though you'll be
taking part of me.

Please don't let the distance separate us.
Phone me with every bit of news.
Tell me about your hair-cut or your brand new pair of shoes.
And I want letters with the details, and
photographs as well.
There's much time before you leave, I know,
but I felt I had to tell...

You see, time passes us so quickly.
And I just wanted you to know
that I won't take the time we have for granted-

I will cherish every moment...

Until it's time for you to go.

Fred said it. The emotion comes through loud and clear. Nice work.

Like Fred, I agree that this has a lot of passion in it. I even wish someone would do that for me. It's great!

Gosh! You made me cry! My best friend is named Martin, and I'm going to send this to him! Thank you for saying this so well!
