“I’m bad at saying goodbye” I am too In a way I’m bad at knowing how to leave a new friend Wave or hug? I don’t know what to do when you say goodbye and you continue to walk in the same direction Simple things Then it gets deeper What do you do When you make new friends Only to have them leave again? How do you say goodbye? I dread the thought Of this summer being over Of goodbyes being said Of these memories ending What do you do When your best friend grows up before you Leaves for college and does great things How do you say goodbye? A hug doesn’t seem to be enough Words don’t suffice When these people you hold close Are now only close in your heart I don’t need to dwell on it now I have two months for fun Before goodbyes Yeah I’m bad at saying goodbye too
this poem was inspired by two things from tonight!! first off one of my newer friends is leaving for the summer before leaving for college and I was thinking about how I’m going to miss him even though we kinda just met. also the first line is somewhat of a paraphrased quote from a friend that stuck with me for some reason even though it wasn’t supposed to be significant
