I've heard it said...

There is this one word,
I absolutely hate it, all of it.
The way it stays in your throat,
because you really don't ever want to say it.
Saying this one word can mean the end, or maybe a new beginning.

GOODBYE.

I don't believe in goodbyes,
even though I've said my fair share.
I believe in a far more optimistic phrase,
one that leaves a little chance to meet again.

SEE YOU
later, around, soon, sometime.

Insert the phrase you so prefer, but any of those are better than goodbye.
The word itself implies forever to me.
Not in all scenarios, but the ones where you are not sure if you'll ever see each other again.
I like to believe that everyone comes into our lives for a reason,
to love, to learn, to be happy.
So why say goodbye at all?
Forever is too long to be so certain,
leave room for a little chance.
The world may be a big place,
but it's small enough to make goodbye unnecessary.
Be seeing you.
