My best friend Hector moved away
As we didn't see him for two weeks
When I asked his neighbor to tell me
Where they went, and they told me that Hector moved away
And we were all sad and we were looking at our old photos
Like he was still here with me still
The more we thought of him the more we were sad
Because we didn’t get to say goodbye to him
And we couldn’t contact Hector
He was no longer with me
And we cried for a long time.
