goodbye to laughing at lunch

goodbye to patting eachother on the back

goodbye to smiles

goodbye to friendship

goodbye to knowing eachother

goodbye to time we have left

goodbye 22

goodbye algebra

goodbye to you

i’ve given up

trying to make

time go slower,

given up trying

to slow the inevitable

you leave, another

school and grade,

you always were

so old,

goodbye name calling

goodbye checking in on eachother

i’ve given up

hiding my sadness,

you seem to see it

too, even

when we refuse

to acknowledge

the ticking clock

goodbye heart to hearts

goodbye stories

goodbye sarcasm

i’ve given up

trying to hold

myself back,

i have to spend

every last second

make it worth it

goodbye to fun facts

goodbye late night talks

goodbye to the group at full

goodbye to arguing over food

i’ve given up,

hiding what you

mean to me:

you are

the older sibling

i never had,

the brother who

actually

cares

goodbye debates

goodbye dreaming

goodbye looking to the future

goodbye to funny looks

goodbye, you
