When I wake, if I allow it time
My mind will ponder the decline
When we found our ourselves
I watched you drift away
Unable to prevent the separation
Regardless
I feel you need to know
That you saved me
This won't be farewell
Don't think I would ever let things end this way
These memories won't fade
They're everything to me
They're the colour in the grey
Glowing incandescently
Like a beacon, shining into my soul
Equally bright, equally cold
The truth is
I cannot help but feel that I did something awful to
Cause this fissure
To grow between me and all of you
Reality is a far more difficult pill to swallow
And so it follows that I'd blame myself
But we're all just getting older
Can I trust that you're not just outgrowing me?
Don't think I would ever let things end this way
These memories won't fade
They're everything to me
They're the colour in the grey
Glowing incandescently
I hope this reaches you
And I hope you're doing well
'Cause with every ounce of my being
I am wishing for your health
No matter the distance between us
I'll be toasting your success
You will be with me always
No matter where I go
Remember what I say
No matter how many years may pass
I'll never, no I'll never turn my back on you
Don't think I would ever let things end this way
These memories won't fade
They're everything to me
They're the colour in the grey
Glowing incandescently
I always struggled to find the words
To truly explain
What your friendship meant to me
And I know that we've changed
But I hope you haven't forgotten
That you're the family I chose
This may be goodbye
But it won't be farewell
