The inevitable goodbye

You 

were my first friend

and I

was yours

Which is saying a lot;

I don't get along well with strangers.

I tend to repulse people, it must be 

something with my charged personality

I always end up driving them away.

But you

You stayed.

You were the reason I began to understand things like

friendship and

loyalty and

faith and

connection.

You, who were all alone in this large and often unfriendly world

were so determined to be close to me that 

it was scary at first.

That determination

alongside your perseverance and desire for greatness

brought out the best in me-

I see that now.

Unfortunate doesn't begin to describe how I feel about

the need to leave you

but I'm glad that you see it is something I cannot deny

I will try to sum up all the love and gratitude that I have for you in a single goodbye

but I'm afraid it will come out the same

as it always does-

"Pika... Pika-Pi."
