Goodbyes

Goodbyes are secrets that do not tell
If a goodbyes’ forever or for just a spell.
Some are uttered with thoughtfulness: careful and concerning.
While some others are said unembraced: tactful, and discerning.

Goodbye, see you later, love you, or fare thee well.
Something must be said For Circumstance do compel.
Surely if I thought it; it’s a thought not ever misread.
Clearly, I’m a social butterfly and always think ahead.

Toward a stranger is the first; solely to my love is the latter.
To friends or familiar foe betwixt the others it does not matter.
