343: °to my dearest friends~ / ~God §peed°

°to my dearest friends~ 

 you all have been 
 the closest friends 
 to me through my Life, 
 and i couldn't have made 
 it this far without any & all 
 of you - i am so thankful 
 truly - to have been 
 able to experience 
 you in my life; 

 you helped me make me who i am today 
 and though i probably never would 
 have planned to look like this 
 i'm glad you all gave me a 
 piece of you to hold 
 onto - a piece to hold 
 onto the hope that people 
 really are born good - you're the  
 ones proving it Time & Time & Time again; 

 i want to let all of you know 
 that you don't have to worry 
 about me reaching out to you 
 again & vice-versa - whatever 
 connections of obligation you 
 may think you might have to 
 me are gone - of course any & 
 all of you are free to reconnect 
 if you ever want to - i wanted 
 to give you all an out out from 
 me without any string attached; 

 but i also wanted to give you all 
 one last piece of me to hold onto 
 if you so desire - it's one of my 
 favorite poems i've written & i 
 was only able to write it 'cause 
 of my Life with all of you - so i 
 figured all co-authors deserved 
 the fruits of our labors - well 
 at least this small piece of it; 

 so here is my poem to you - my 
 dearest friends from another 
 Life - and some Mu§ic to go 
 with it - 'til we next meet in 
 Time, wherever in Space that 
 may be - thank you all again; 

~God §peed°
