an ode to a friend..

you say its time to say goodbye
and i keep wondering
is it for real
or is it a game..?

you are leaving me stranded here
with no shade
of your love
or hand of friendship..

and i wonder who you are
i cant but fathom
i feel as if i've known you
for a life time, my dear friend..

wish you had been more lucid
for i never knew
you were here
just as a fleeting breeze

a tender waft of care
to fill me up with life
and that when you'd blow on
you'd take my breath away..away..
