Farewells
I didn’t think of this formerly
But you’re the one I’m going to miss
I’ll miss you the most
Thank you for the months of bliss
I know you went through tribulations
Life is a real kicker for sure
And maybe you’ll think this is trivial
When I say I wish we could have seen each other more
And yes it would be lying
If our conversations at one point
Had not made me sharper
And left stitches in my joints
Even so I bounced back
Prosaically to make sure
You had at least one spark in your life
Though I’m sure you found me a bore
I’ll try my most
To bestow on you a heart everyday
No matter the strain
Because it will keep your pessimism away
So goodbye my trim and bright confidant
I’ll miss your ingratiating grin
The warmth of your embrace
And your heart made of copper and tin.
