every day
we say goodbye
to lovers, family, and friends
expecting we shall see them
safe and sound
again within short time
we rarely do think why
our trust that there ‘s no crime
attack or accident
exploding our expectations
is strong enough to carry us
above all fears and hesitations
lets us assume that our parting
will always be just for a while
it may well be the sheer necessity
of positive assumptions
is what allows us to survive
to navigate our lives
and to maintain a parting smile on our lips
born from the firm
possibly desperate belief
our departures never are
as yet
forever
