Don't start...
Don't you dare even think it!
Don't ever say goodbye...
Because it's not...
Yeah, you better smile
Like it was the first day again
And we were just hanging out...
With the rest of our friends...
I can see that look
That starts to form in your eyes
Don't you dare, don't you dare
Start to cry!
Don't start...
Don't you dare even think it!
Don't ever say goodbye...
Because it's not...
Facing reality is too hard
Don't say "I'll miss you"
Don't say "Goodbye"
Don't say any of those things!
Can't we live in denial forever?
Don't start...
Don't you dare even think it!
Don't ever say goodbye...
Because it's...
Don't start
Don't you dare even think it!
It's bad enough we already know...
...That you have to leave...
Don't start...
Don't ever say goodbye...
Because maybe then...
You won't have to leave...
Author notes
This was inspired by how my friends kept crying because our senior friends are graduating, and me (having a bad tendency to bottle everything up) told them to stop crying because they would make everybody else cry, too. So... yeah.

That was really sad and beautifully written..we all at times wish our childhood would last forever..but we all have to go through the painful experience of growing up, but we have the Internet now..so not all hope is lost...you can always send them emails and stuff letting them know that you still love them!

Awesome poem, I too recently wrote a poem and posted it about my friends graduating and going off to college it is called only hope if you want to read it. I loved your poem it almost made me want to cry though. Awesome write though.
