"Hello", a simple monotone greeting,
Merely politeness as time is fleeting,
A glance, a nod, but nothing more,
As the moment ends, I'm out the door.
"Hello", a voice no louder than a whisper,
I raised my head, I realise that I've missed her,
Her long brown hair that falls in waves,
Her perfect smile, her gentle gaze.
"Hello", a short and curt reply,
I mustn't fall, I need to try,
She walks away, her smile has faded,
And as she leaves, my heart's left deflated.
"Hello", a memory of her face,
My cheeks wet from tears of disgrace,
In my despair I hear a knock,
My feet drag me to undo the lock.
"Hello", she greets me once again,
I stand in shock, her face in pain,
Collapsing in my arms she sighs,
No more "Hello", but now "Goodbye".
