Torn

Why is letting go so very hard,
is it selfish to miss you this way?
Still it's clawing inside of me,
thinking of you each single day.

My mind is rather happy now
knowing you are safe.
But my heart bleeds with tears
and toys with memories you gave.

Loving you is setting you free
there is nothing else left.
You choose the path you want to walk,
of options though I feel bereft.

So many plans, so wild and strong
pearls of hope woven into dreams.
Deep down inside I will nurture them
untill the next meeting of our streams.

I will not forget you my lady,
and cherish the memories we made.
We shared so much, so deep,
reminiscenses that never fade.

Moments filled with laughter, some sadness,
but always knowing you are there.
Feelings of friendship, past, present,
no more future is hard to bear.

No question: we will meet again,
and for that moment I will wait.
Untill then stay a treasure in my heart
remember: friends are never late!!

My friend, my sweet dear friend
Stay safe, I bid you fare well...
