How Was I Suposed To?

How was I suposed to say goodbye,
To a girl who changed everything about me?

Two weeks at camp gone by,
Two weeks full of laughter and happiness.
We hiked, we swam, we kayaked, we climbed,
We Bonded.

How was I suposed to say goodbye,
To a girl who changed everything about me?

Unlike the thirteen days before,
The last day was filled
With hugs, tears and promises,
We all knew we would break.

I tried to get her alone with me.
To give her a proper goodbye.
It was time to say what I
had been thinking about all day.

Here was my chance, I was about to leave.
I gave her a hug, looked into her eyes and said
"Nora, I... I... I..." I couldn't say anything more
I tried and I tried but words couldn't come out of my mouth.

Finally, something came out, what I'd said to everyone else.
Tears fell from my eyes as I hugged her and
We walked out of each others' lives for good.
I turned around and yelled "Wait! Nora!"

the tears run down her face.

words started coming out.

I told her I'd miss her, and she was a good friend.
But what I really wanted to say was:
"You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me"
But those words wouldn't come out.
