Goodbye, New Friend I can’t BelieveIt’s timeTo sayGoodbye We just metThree daysNowMy flame for youBurns fierce Like the pepperyPunchOf local dishesYour zesty spiritHas me craving for more Yet, I must goReboundTo a lifeOf contractsAnd compulsions I don’t know if we willSee each other againBut you are nowA permanent part Of my soul
