Hello

I said hello;
when we first met
at the back of the bookstore

I said hello;
when he called me
on the number I gave him
a week prior

I said hello;
when I woke up the next morning
with him holding me
in his arms

I said hello;
at his sister's wedding
where I cooked with his mom
and danced with his father

I said hello;
after we fought
for two hours straight
at three in the morning
because I didn't know what else to say

I said hello;
to his friend
when he told me
that he went on a trip away from me

I said hello;
when he came back
the next day
and twirled me around happily

I said hello;
every time
I was happy

So it was hard
and painful
when I said goodbye
