The Constant State

Goodbye. It hurts.
I'll see you. Better.
I won't leave you. Yes.

This constant state of goodbye exhausts my entire being.

It leaves me alone,
desperate to get back to you,
desperate to stop the ache.

When I get back I'll stay in your arms forever

I swear. 
But for now,
Goodbye
