We truly met not long ago 
But how it seems like years! 
You know my pain and secrets
Because you've read my tears

I do believe our hearts and souls
Are sewn of the same thread
Of music, art, of wisdom, life
Our eyes see through what's dead

And now it's time for you to leave 
It's time to say goodbye
And all I see's an empty hole
I wish this was a lie

This chapter at last is ending
How sad to see it go
I pray to live still in your book
To watch your talent grow

I don't think you will ever see
How much you've filled the gap
Of friends who weren't but ghosts and lies
And what I thought I lacked

You changed my life and raised my head 
When you showed me you cared 
I won't let go of all the depth 
And laughter we have shared

For all the impact on my life
For encouragement too
For being there, an honest friend
I want to say thank you.
