I’m not so good at goodbyes,
especially last ones.
So long’s and see ya’s
are more my style.
Keep it short and sweet
without a lot of gush.
Too much mush
and I’ll just cry.
What can I say?
I’m just weepy that way.
I get to thinking about
stuff I should have said.
You know what I mean,
like thanks for letting me
be your friend.
I’m going to miss you
more than you know.
I guess we are never really
ready to see someone go.
Your head tells you
it is just their time
but your heart still says no.
I believe we will meet again
one form or another.
If we are only stardust,
we’ll still recognize each other.
So I will say goodbye
to your devastated body and pain.
But to your heart and soul I say,
I’ll catch you later.

The soul is the best part anyway.  ♥️

I hope you don't mind the comment of just the thought it brought up. I'm not really the critiquing type unless there are specific questions about specific parts.
