on Goodbye

Oh how I wish I spoke Hebrew, French..or German..

Goodbyes can elicit such pain..
It has this finality that’s just so bane..

It seems though that in order to moderate
The bitterness that it seems to precipate
People and their languages..fickle that we are
Have come up with a more hopeful vernacular..

Aufwiedersehn...I”ll see you again
Au Revoir.....until I see you again
L’Hitraot......I’ll see you..
DoSvidanya......Until next time

Well..except English you see
Theres no such hopeful sortie..

soo I’d much rather be saying
Aufwiedersehn..
.. see you again..
(somehow...)

..than goodbye
So dry..



ps. The root of goodbye is from old English "May God be with ye" for those that are curious (as I am..)
