Goodbye

What did you mean...goodbye...  
  
a wave, a letter, a sigh..  
 
For a moment confusion took chair.  
    
Then in company question was there.  
   
So easily did goodbye stumble,  
   
perhaps a misunderstood mumble.  
   
Did our always... become a lie?  
   
My quietness was my hurts reply.  
   
I searched your syllables intent,  
   
hoping it was not what I felt it meant.  
   
Then your head bowed in such a way,  
   
that I knew goodbye was here to stay.
