It Isn’t Quite Goodbye, with Friends (A Kyrielle)
(Unintended Farewells)
May 27th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
When you turned and left her to go
And turning, the world seemed to slow.
Did you think that you’d see her again?
It isn’t quite goodbye, with friends.
Love never quite dies, even though
Every word that you spoke was a blow.
Will you return to make amends?
It isn’t quite goodbye, with friends.
Time moves like a wave as it flows,
And waves build up as they grow.
You’ll be swept up by them at the end.
It isn’t quite goodbye, with friends.
