Goodbye

i have always hated good byes

maybe you knew that 
when you would not
give me one

maybe that is how
you honored our love

or maybe you couldn't
say goodbye

because it was not
over for you

what you didn't know is....

if you can't say goodbye
you cannot say hello again

Adeleke Adeite Date: 6/6/2009 5:19:00 AM Hey! Where on earth did you get this… if you can't say goodbye you cannot say hello again, I think it’s a sacred truth, in fact I was lifted with message in this last verse. I have had to say goodbye to my best friend and till now we still say hello. But I have never had a girlfriend so I don’t know what it means to say good bye to one’s GF. You can read up my poem titled “ it’s hard to say goodbye”. What a lovely write. You are great!ADELEKE Login to Reply
