alone.
that's like the best solution for when,
you want someone but you can't have them.

so instead of saying "see you later", to them.
you actually tell them one.
last.
good bye.

and just as see you later, is temporary.
good bye is forever.
good bye is eternity.

as soon as you say good bye.
both you and that other person's soul,
stop intertwining and connecting.

there's a long pause with both of you,
after that good bye is registered to both of you.
both souls, slowly start to part ways. both of you.

the tangling of love and affection between both souls,
are torn apart and there's a ripping,
there's a tearing.
snapping.
popping.

and then there is nothing.
there is nothing no more.
because both of you,
parted ways...
