A Friend. Within.
bid adieu— to not knowing how to love,
you've shown me that,
bid adieu— to not learning when to cry,
you've taught me that;
using your heart to spark
my growth within;
now I've found a friend, within
this chaotic world we're
living in— and it's you.
bid adieu— to no need to hid behind my smile,
you've open my inner glow,
bid adieu— to the thoughts of feeling semi-empty
this life had come to know;
using the light of God
you possess within;
now I've found a friend, within
this hectic world we're
living in— and it's you.
If our friendship ever deems
miles of distance in between,
if new careers enter our scenes,
and craft opportunities to grow between;
you'd have a special place in my heart,
and in my memories,
you'd hold an integral part
to the joys I'd recall.
because I found a friend, within
this crazy world we're living in—
and it's you.
