Saying Goodbye To A Friend

When I broke down after my friend went to Iraq…
I will miss the days when you say hi
Because instead we have to say goodbye
My days are numbered with you
Because when you’re gone I will be gone too
When you leave you will be missed
Days will be lonely and long
But I will remember all the days we shared
I know you must be scared
This must be ruff on you
Because it is ruff on me too
You have been there for me
Even when I felt guilty
For leaving you all alone
Not knowing you would not go home
Instead you start to pack
Because you leave for Iraq
When you get back
I will not be here
So don't cry a tear
I will be furthering my career
Just like you want me too
I am doing it for you
We will see each other again
You will always be my friend
Goodbye to you
And remember you will always be loved
So come home safe
Back to your place
