my savior, my friend, my dearest lover
all these years I sought no other
so hear my plea this mild eve
Dylan, I wish you didn't have to leave

this trip, this place, this final night
remember to read this poem I'll write
and if I were to shed a tear
Dylan, I wish you could be near

for good I'll spend my nights alone
since the time of your return's unknown
you're leaving me, I still question why
Dylan, I wish we wouldn't have to say goodbye.

though you've never shed a tear, never cried
I can tell its tearing you up inside
