Mentor

MY TEACHER, MY MENTOR,
MY INSPIRATION AND BEST FRIEND.
I WILL NOT FORGET YOU.
YOU TAUGHT ME TO LOOK WITHIN MYSELF
FOR THE ACCEPTANCE I SO LONG DESIRED.
I WILL NOT FORGET YOU.
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO STOP, AND THINK:
"IS THIS WHAT I WANT?"
I WILL NOT FORGET YOU.
YOU’VE GUIDED ME WHEN I FELT LOST.
AND YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST.
I WILL NOT FORGET YOU.
IT SEEMS LIKE I’VE KNOWN YOU FOREVER,
I EVEN WROTE YOU A FEW SONGS.
BUT NOW AFTER ONLY A SHORT TIME,
WE’RE SAYING OUR SO-LONGS.
I WILL NOT FORGET YOU.
I LOVED YOU THEN,
AND I LOVE YOU STILL.
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
