Goodbye

I've heard
that goodbye only hurts when you
know you would never have another hello
and that people should say later if they have faith
and never goodbye, because goodbye
is death.

We would joke about this.
You would say that it didn't matter.
You told me goodbye and always came home.
Then one night you told me you'd see me later.
Then next time I saw you was at your funeral in a box.
I bet see you later was what you meant.
I miss you.
