So Long, My Friend

So long, my friendYou were my companion and my guideBut now I must depart from your sideSo long, my friendYou taught me how to laugh and cryBut now I must explore the unknown skySo long, my friendYou shared with me your dreams and fearsBut now I must pursue my own frontiersSo long, my friendYou gave me love and loyaltyBut now I must embrace my destinySo long, my friendYou were the best thing in my lifeBut now I must evolve and end this strifeSo long, my friendI hope you’ll understand somedayWhy I had to leave and find my way
