Goodbye, My Friend

My mind was so far away from you,
Yet our parting struck me.
I wish I could've said goodbye,
And thank you for the great memories.

You were the link to my youth,
Now I'm stuck in adulthood.
But still I'll remember you,
Mostly as the young, handsome soul you were.

I hope you lived happily.
I hope you died painless.
But still I'm sorry I was not there for you,
In your last days of struggle.

You're with the others now,
And I'll hope you'll wait there for me.
One day we'll see each other again.
But till then, goodbye Binkie.
