You Are Graduating

By: Ken M Ackerman

You are graduating,
Going off to life,
Going off to have your kids,
To be someone's beautiful wife.

You're going to the "Real World"
And leaving me behind,
But I can't just say goodbye,
Because you're always on my mind.

And over the past few weeks,
You've showed me how much you care,
And I have done the same.
But now, can you still be there?

You were my first love,
The first one I kissed,
The first one I cared for so much,
The first one I'll miss.

Yet all my pain can go away,
If you make one promise to me,
Promise me we'll still be friends,
That you and I can always be.

Because if I can't see your face,
Do I really want to go on?
Yes I do, but it will hurt,
Living life all alone.

No friend to bring me comfort,
No friend to hold me near,
No friend to smile and cheer me up,
No friend to wipe the tears.
