could someone please translate me this sentence? please? it's very important! thanks

Truly great friends are hard to find,
difficult to leave,
and impossible to forget..

Настоящих друзей трудно найти, тяжело покидать и невозможно забыть.
Настоящих друзей трудно найти, с ними тяжело расставаться и их невозможно забыть.

The first one is shorter but 'тяжело покидать' sounds not very good at least to me.

oh thank you very much alexei!
