revisiting goodbye

You were so eager to leave me

That you did not even kiss me goodbye.

Your best relationship,

the person you adore to this day.

-Those were your words not mine.

Before this incident,

I never paid much attention to Goodbyes.

They say a lot,

though.

About who we are as people.

About how we value our loved ones.

& that Goodbye,

knowing you would not be coming back,

told me I was just another of your individuals.

Robbed of an embrace & any semblance of passion.

Nothing.

By that point,

You felt nothing.

You had said Goodbye months ago.
