Adieu

It was never our time,
And certainly not our place...
So I bid thee adieu,
Another distant face.
Fading from memory,
With each passing day,
I know not how I came to know you,
Only that you weren't meant to stay.
Your presence, though brief,
Invoked such passion, such laughter-
Such grief.
So goodbye, my friend,
I don't know if we'll ever meet again...
Goodbye, dear acquaintance,
You were just as easy, as you were maintenance.
Later, buddy, call you that if I may,
Though our connection was short,
It's for your happiness I pray.
We had to let go, there was no other choice-
Parting ways, to find something else in which to rejoice.
So it's goodbye I say to you,
Once more and again...
Though it pains me to admit,
We'll never be friends again...
This is it.
