You Left an Impression on Me

Jorge, my dear friend, what can I say?

As I ponder your new life, I'm filled with emotions in many ways

Though I haven't known you very long

My sadness grows strong

You left an impression on me

As you near the end of your time here

Just remember all of the lives you've touched and held dear

Knowing that you came here with nothing

And leave with a lot more than just something

You left an impression on me

Fun times we had back then

Nights on Fire Island dancing with friends

Decorating your apartment in shabby chic

Running to 7-11 for something to eat

You left an impression on me

We lost touch after those first few weeks

Our paths crossing rarely in small little meets

Reconnecting with you lately has been a wonderful reprise

For I got to know you and it was a blessing in disguise

You left an impression on me

Though our second tourney together was short and sweet

It left an indelible impression on me that I cannot refute

The kindness and compassion you give

Inspires me on how I should live

You left an impression on me

So, so long my friend, as you return to the place that was once your stead

I wish you nothing but happiness on your road ahead

Though you'll be missed, may you find true happiness in that which you hold dear

Our paths may never again cross, but memories of you will always be near

You left an impression on me

Buena Suerte Amigo!
