"See you in a few years, my friend. And, if such be the case, have a wonderful life and I'll see you in the next one.
Goodbye."
Why must such words be said?
Why can't good friends be together forever?
Why. Why. Why.
I had so much to say to you. So many things to do with you. So much time together that we should have had which seems to have been stolen by distance. By a few meager miles in a universe where our source of heat and light is nearly 10,000 times further away than you are. A distance between us so small that light travels it in 7 millionths of a second.
A distance which is incomprehensibly far.
Well, here's the first of many goodbyes. Or, the first that I have really felt anyway. Oh dear. This life is going to be difficult if saying goodbye to all my friends is this painful. Maybe I'll get better at goodbyes. I don't know. Anyway. Ready or not, here I go. Again.
Remember that I love you.
Know that I believe in you. You will do great things. I believe you will change the world.
Know that you have changed my life in greater ways than I can tell you.
Stay true to God and yourself, and cling to hope and truth like your life depends on it, because it does.
Smile often.
I will never forget you.
Goodbye, my friend.
All the love in my heart,
Dallin
I love you so much.
ReplyDeleteThat is all I can say, really. I have no other words.
