I'm leaving school,

I feel like a fool,

It soon will be the end,

Goodbye my lovely friend,

Sorry that this time has come,

I also want to scream and run,

Someday I will see you sometime,

And when we meet I am sure we will be fine,

Please don’t cry or I will too,

And remember I’ll always love you.
