Goodbye?


Such a simple word,

I've said it a thousand times.

 

But as the seasons pass, and the years fade away.

I realize,

When was the last time I said it to 

you?

 

There was a last time,

I'm sure of that.

And I say it to you now.

What I'm not sure of,

Is if you can hear me say it at all

anymore.
