A goodbye can be many things. Yet it is just one wordThis is polysemy. From one word, many meaningsMany different responses which can thus be inferredFrom a simple goodbye emerges many feelings"Goodbye Today" is said with closing eyesAn an inevitability in every utteranceThe routine sadness is mere inevitabilityAs it's said with mechanical competenceThe goodbye to a hero, that they cannot hearTo an inspiration you may never have metA person who got you through your darkest yearThough they've gone their legacy is your safety netGoodbye to a habit you've had for a whileWishing a life with new habits and motivesThose it may have brought you many a smileAnd the impact of its absence will be explosiveThe casual goodbye, which later meant much moreA last word you didn't realise would be your lastWhen you didn't realise what the future had in storeAs life has simply moved by you too fastGoodbye is more versatile than we ever give it creditWe put much burden on the shoulders of this soundSo, until and if we meet again, please don't forget itHow much a goodbye can mean when it's around
