As I Walk Away

Another song/poem. You know how it feels like leaving all your friends behind if, let's say, you move house? Yeah...

 

As I Walk Away

Not looking forward to tomorrow

When I finally leave this town

Gonna leave behind the people

Who turned my life around

Who were there for me even when

I thought I just can’t go on

But I’m taking with me the memories

Even as the plane leaves the ground

 

As I walk away

Gonna leave my friends behind

Gonna leave behind everything

As I look back for the last time

But I won’t forget

How you helped me fix my life

How they helped me fix everything

As I look back for the last time

And I hope you hear all that I have to say

Even as I walk away

 

Still thinking of all you guys

Didn’t want it to be like this

Wishing for all the good times

All the good times that I miss

Maybe I should look forward more

Be optimistic like they say

But I’m not sure

It’ll help me hide the pain

The feeling’s just the same

 

As I walk away

Gonna leave my friends behind

Gonna leave behind everything

As I look back for the last time

But I won’t forget

How you helped me fix my life

How they helped me fix everything

As I look back for the last time

And I hope you hear all that I have to say

Even as I walk away

 

Well the day is here

But I’ll keep our pictures near

Well there’s something to be said

For taking all the pain away

 

As I walk away

Gonna leave my friends behind

Gonna leave behind everything

As I look back for the last time

But I won’t forget

How you helped me fix my life

How they helped me fix everything

As I look back for the last time

And I hope you hear all that I have to say

Even as I walk away

 

And I know we’re all gonna be okay

Even as I walk away

I continue to appreciate your lyrical style, it's got quite the rhythm and flow.
I've only ever had one major move where I felt like I was losing something, some people, when I left.
And I'm starting another one again. After all, school is over for me, high school is in the past. And some people do have to be left behind once you find out their true colors. Those always seem to show the summer after the fact.

Keep in touch, that's what's important, because some of those people might have changed you, shaped you as who you are today.
I like this.
