To A Friend
This is for someone whom I call my friend
someone I've come to love
she reminds me of a soaring bird
reminds me of a dove
her arms are always spread out wide
and under the warmth I feel I can hide
but soon she will go away from me
her arms won't hold me anymore
soon she will walk out, right out the door
and leave me alone in this world again
and once more in my heart I'll fee pain
because she's going to go away
I know I will want to cry
but when she's gone that will be the worst
because I will feel like I want to die.
