“Stay Gold, Ponyboy” refers to the 1967 novel The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, originating from a quote by the character Johnny to Ponyboy as he is dying. It was based on an earlier reading of the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost in the novel.
This is the closest to this friend that I've been
I hope you find it on greener ground and bluer skies
I hope you don't think less of me
If I'm cold I don't want to watch you go
I'll cry until I can't see the whites of your eyes for two more years
Two more years
We'll be old enough to know better, young enough to pretend
This is the last of my letters
I hope I find my home and I hope you're the first one in it
I know it won't be the same
I'll be there if you need anything at all you want to be
Run around the world with me
State your distance but it's not a million miles away
If this is what will really make you happy
Then I'll say
We'll be old enough to know better
Young enough to pretend
This is the last of my letters
Until I see you again
