They need me

And I need them;

Because without them,

Some days I would

Have no reason to stop.

Stop reverting back

To my old ways,

And stop the creature inside

That tries to kill.

I needed them,

But they all let go.

Some were lost,

Some chose to leave,

Some simply forgot me.

But all were my friends

And all are remembered.

Remembered for their personalities

And how they changed my hearts.

Now it's time to go,

And I'm feeling all the pain.

But I refuse to leave

Without my well-earned

Good-bye to them all.

It's not hard to say good-bye,

For they've already moved on,

And I'm left drifting

Alone in space.

They needed me to save them

From their average lives,

But I needed them to save me

From my never ending ones.
