Old boot

.

I bid thee farewell, my friend.
It has been a year that I've known you:
You've been part of every password
The first word written on every page of my diary
Sewn in the seams of all the clothes that I bought
And sprinkled generously on all my ice-cream cones.
You sat apologetically on all my bills,
On my credit cards, and lease agreement -
So go away quickly, if you must go, fair friend!
Your impending departure has been messing with my mind.
And give me the space of a couple of hours -
So I may let my hair down and unwind.
