The Importance of Good Bye

How do you say ‘bye 
To one you don’t know?
Do you just stop, turn and Go?
It is hard to say ‘bye when you’ve not said Hello

A funny world in which we exist,
Always lots of opportunities missed
It feels a bit sad, 
And this I know

But I have to say ‘bye, 
Though we’ve not said Hello!
