If it's time!?!

If you have to say goodbye, you know you'll be missed...If I'll have to wave goodbye it will be with a broken heart... If you do it I'm sure you'll do it on the top of your high hills...If it makes you happy I'll be happy too... If you need you'll have my support! =) Ps:. Just a note for a friend ... if it happens I'll talk about it later!!!
