Alexis’ Poem

If there is one thing I could tell you
It would be just this
Everything I’ve shared with you
Is everything I’ll miss

The nights we spent together
and the ones we spent apart
I’ve always felt so close to you
Like a thumbprint in my heart

So many times I think of you
and wish that you were here
If only I could be with you
Maybe one more year

Or one more month
Or one more week
Or even one more day
There’s so much I want to show you
So much I have to say

It’s so hard to be happy
Even though I have what’s best
I’m heading towards your future
I’m leaving my friends behind with all the rest

If only I could stay with you
and walk that same new path
and we would be forever friends
Forever we’d share laughs

and one day when we meet again
I’ll love you even more
and we can once again be pals
Friends forever more
