Goodbye
The last time we met I told you goodbye.
Perhaps I should have instead said, “Farewell.”
I never intended to make you cry.
Just thought I could be alone for a spell.
Mayhap sayonara, auf wiedersehen,
Adios, or au revoir might suffice.
I understand what I uttered was plain
And so, I failed my attempt to be nice.
Don’t say you would be content with, “So long!”
Not after we’ve dared to share what we’ve shared.
To say, “Go with God.” Well, that just seems wrong
When what we have broken might be repaired.
Don’t take “Goodbye” as “Good riddance, amen!”
Look at it as “Until we meet again…”
