We spent so long together here
I fail to understand "apart"
For all this time I held you dear
Can I ever free my heart?
And when we spoke we'd just connect
So you became my dearest friend
Your fragile soul I still protect
Can that ever really end?
And every time I'd hear your laughter
It heartened me to make it through
I cannot think of what comes after
Can I make it without you?
To answer all these questions: "No"
You shaped and built my self entire
Taught me well to walk through fire
But time has come for me to go
And though at times we still may talk
Our separate ways we have to walk

Not strictly a sonnet but it combines the first thematic part of an English sonnet with the second thematic part of an Italian sonnet. Fourteen lines just wasn't quite enough to get my point across. It's also in tetrameter instead of pentameter because I just like the sound better.
