A tearful farewell

[soucyland]

To all of you who have left,
before I was ready to say good bye,
I know I may have missed my chance,
but it's better for me this way.
I will pretend you are still here,
that I simply haven't seen you in a while,
that if I could pick up the phone
and see you in mere moments.
Maybe I didn't call while you were available,
maybe I let you believe you weren't important,
maybe I tried to distance you before you left,
maybe I wasn't the best friend around,
but for all my mysterious behavior,
please remember I loved you truly,
and I feel your absence keenly,
and I would always choose your company.
