Goodbye forever. By Marc Carver

I walk past the next door neighbour in the park 

but she doesn't really want to talk nobody does anymore.

I get a bit closer to her and ask how she is doing.

She looks very worried as she pushes her young son into the sky on the swing.

We chat for a bit 

and as I walk away her son says goodbye and I say goodbye to him.

Only the next day do I think it is safer to say see you later now 

after all 

goodbye really could mean goodbye forever.

 I do little else but write even when I don't write I am looking at ways and for things to write about so thanks to the world for giving me something to see
