I can say au revoir
& not miss a heartbeat
hoping that to be true
other times
vaya con dios
wishing god to go with you
even if the gods
i’m thinking of
may not be the same
as those you want
ciao
always seems
chirpy
happy
like a laters’ people
but that goodbye
there have been so many
that hurt
were final
ripped feelings
out of a face
being stone
for the parting
adieu
