For A Friend I'll Never See Again

She’s lived here 

     most of her life 

She never thought 

     that would change. 

     But now she's 

drowning 

     in goodbyes, 

walking 

     out the door, 

hoping 

     it doesn’t lock her out. 

There’s so much 

     to say 

to do 

    to confess 

to love 

    to appreciate 

to miss

yet so little time. 

Time passed by 

     like a fallen leaf in the air,

whisked

     away 

By the harsh winds.

     Time 

Moves on

     even if you don’t.

But as time moves on,

    as the days are whisked away,

our group

     won’t ever

be the same

     without her.
