• You were my mentor
    my life-long friend
    time caught up
    and brought the end

    You tried to erase
    my greatest fear
    but it wasn't fair
    to keep you here

    You weren't really
    mine to keep
    I stayed with you
    and watched you sleep

    You sprouted wings
    took to the sky
    I caught a feather
    and said goodbye

    Those were my words
    but even so
    I will never
    let you go
