Good bye, my old friend

Good bye my friend
The time has come for us to part
Your constant presence made me appreciate 
The wonders of the world
The humble beauty of a weed by a roadside
The magnificence of a fleeting butterfly
The raucous laugh of the kookaburra 
The roaring windstorm in the forest
Sharing those moments with you
Made them more precious
So I'm grateful to you
In this I simply say thank you
It's been a long time now
That I've never been alone
Lately our relation has soured
Intimacy breeds contempt 
And nothing is more intimate
Than a lump in one's breast
So it's time we part
Good bye my old friend.
