Never Let Go

I don't ever want us to let go of each other
Maybe our paths will go in
separate directions,
but that won't change the bond
we share and what's in our hearts.

No matter where I am
or what I'm doing,
when you come to mind
a smile comes to my face
and a warmth settles in my heart.

The day you and I met
will always be cherished.
We've grown together,
done a lot together.

And no matter what,
we always let each other know
that we do love and care
about each other.

You are more than just
a friend to me.
I often struggle to say how I feel,
but I Hope we never let go
of what we share.

Because whether it is across the miles
or just a short distance,
you are and always will be
a part of my life and me.
