Again the sky Takes good-byes, And I heave one Once again. Good-bye. When you quipped Ciao so flippantly, Or rolled au revoir So knowingly; When See ya Really meant See ya soon, I heard it all So promisingly. When you said Later, it meant Sooner than later, And you drawled it out So wistfully, Knowing sooner Lovingly. This time Come back And say Good-bye again. Good-bye, My girl, For now.

When You Said Good-bye
Again the sky Takes good-byes, And I heave one Once again. Good-bye. When you quipped Ciao so flippantly, Or rolled au revoir So knowingly; When See ya Really meant See ya soon, I heard it all So promisingly. When you said Later, it meant Sooner than later, And you drawled it out So wistfully, Knowing sooner Lovingly. This time Come back And say Good-bye again. Good-bye, My girl, For now.
My youngest just left for China to teach for a year. At least she's on the planet, and doing what she wants. Being a father and seeing your child succeed (as we wanted) has a very sharp double edge.
