Tribure to Past Friends and Present Ones and New Ones

I wrote this in July 2011 in bittersweet anticipation of moving to South Carolina from Colorado a week before I went off to college.


Sweet blue skies
and starry eyes
As time flies
Come goodbyes.
New hello
Who will know
Where I'll go
How I'll grow.
Old and new
Me and you.
Who knows?
Love grows.
Maybe ours will too.
Leap of faith.
Think too hard
and fall.
Pick up again.
Thanks, my friend
for sticking through it all.
New town.
Little frown.
Turn it upsidedown.
Big smile. :)
after a while,
grows a mile.
Happiness,
Loveliness:
Things that describe us.
We are mortals
in a fairy world
full of beautiful and ugly things.
We find new portals
to new universes
to fulfill our dreams.
So dream on
while you're awake
and my heart will ever break.
But, at least I feel.
At least I'm real.
At least I have feelings at all.
'Cause now and then I'll fall
but it's caring that matters
even if it leaves me in tatters.
At least I have a heart to move on.
This makes me stronger
to hold on a little longer
and do what I have dreamed I can do.
Me and you
Friends, true blue
Hold my hand tight
Step into the light
for this beautiful, ugly world awaits us.
Let's conquer it
whether or not we part
together in heart
always.
Don't worry- we will meet again.
In a new world without pain.
So stand tall in the rain
even if you stand alone.
Walk on, my friend
I will see you in the end
In an adventure of our own.
I miss you
I'd kiss you
but then goodbye would be harder.
So I'll give you a hug
to send you my love
and then I will walk away.
I will look back just once
give a little wave
and walk on into the dusk.
Where I go?
I don't know.
But, just know
I will see you again.
