Goodbye

Like the sun
a little too close
I turn and run
Trying to escape the light
but I'm never fast enough
and I always stay
Stuck
An endless wait
is only endless
because what you are waiting for
slowly disappears
without a goodbye
But, what do you do
when it quietly walks up to you
kisses you
and smiles straight through you
Do you smile back?
or do you run?
Or do you start to walk?
One step at a time
...No matter what direction you walk in
No matter what you get closer to
You're only getting further away
As I stand here to wave goodbye
