Dearest friend
Untravelable distances now
separate us from each other.
You went beyond the ocean,
you slipped behind the night.
No longer there where I
knew I could always find you.
Where you sang and laughed.
I know. You will never sink
You will never disappear.
Charts will not be needed
to find your way back
to my heart’s safe harbor.
A haven for your memories.
Travel safe, and return often
to my thoughts, where you
will always be welcomed
as the friend, you were to me.
Goodbye.
