Hello-Goodbye

Hello You are strange, yet familiar Young Yet I see experience in your eyes Tell me about yourself Why do you do the things you do One day you will love One day you will hope You now smile with disdain But I have seen through your eyes Hello Life is set before you Young Not a care in the world No not one Understanding comes from within Yet you look outward When will we talk Goodbye I know I have wasted my time You now stranger than ever I see your vibrant life Old Yes I feel older in your presence My wisdom, proven foolish What will become of me Goodbye I am strange Old My experience now foolishness Me, there is nothing to tell Why do I do the things I do Because I love Because I hope My smile genuine yet sarcastic Now look through my eyes

Yes but parting is such sweet sorrow, ok that's hardly ever true haha. Thanks for commenting on every single one of my poems. The jesture itself is very flattering.
