I don't know how to say goodbye
To the girl at the coffee stand,
Or the trainer at the gym,
Or my mother.
2.9 million people work, eat, and dream
with me;
I don't know them all,
But there are invisible spider threads
joining us,
And how do I disconnect these lines?
I don't know how to say goodbye.
And, it's true, I can't figure out the
right syntax,
The correct arrangement of consonants
and vowels,
Just the right tone and facial
expression
That would help me say it.
I don't know how to say goodbye.
Instead I pretend that I'm not leaving.
I never say anything final
Or even cry.
