Separation.

Goodbyes are not forever.
They are not the last word.
They are just something to say,
something to be heard.

They are a continuation,
A forwarding of what is to begin,
A promise, a hope,
not something to condemn.

Goodbyes should not bring torture,
Torment, or despair,
Feelings of comfort and patience
should instead be presented there.

This is not the end,
This is not our last chance.
For in this thing we call life,
it is only one dance
