Friendship And Departure Poem by Bamisaye Adeniran

We’ve known ourselves
For a long time
Yet, it’s like we met yesterday.
The memory is so clear
And looks recent.

It started long ago and lasted
For months.
I don’t want
To believe this,
We have to part now.
It’s so soon my “Dear”

I don’t want to believe
This is happening.
But, I have to come back to my senses;
We can’t be together forever.

I only wish
I could draw back the hands of time.
The funs we shared together,
The hard times we went through
All these make me cry.

My friends!
Why leave me now?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you?
Can I do without you?

You mean so much to me,
That I can hardly think without you
You are my blood and flesh
Please don’t leave
Let’s be together forever.

These are all wishes
That can never come to pass
But someday, somehow, somewhere
Destiny will play its role
And we will recall those wonderful
Memories we shared together.
