Goodbyes
The bus pulled in with a whispering stop
And the driver stepped through the door.
The tears were streaming when I looked at my friend,
And I couldn't utter one word more.
He crushed me to him in a goodbye hug
That had my throat closing up like a vice.
I said, "I'll write you, and please write back."
He said, "OK, that would be nice."
Two civilized people, we each looked so lost,
But nothing could keep him--he'd leave.
The only thing bad about welcoming friends
Is the parting when you stand there and grieve.
Here I am, as promised....Goodbyes are hard...I am thankful that this was merely a farewell for a short time. Thanks for sharing with me.
