Goodbye Is Not

Goodbye Is Not

Goodbye my friend, but
Always remember this:
Goodbye is not goodbye
Just because you leave me.
Our time together lives,
Lives on inside of me

I thank you for the time
That we had together.
Remember that goodbye
Is not ever a goodbye,
And is not forever
Between two who bond,
For it lives on inside of you.
It is only a good bye

Goodbye my friend,
The pleasure has been mine.
I’m gonna miss the love you gave me,
But you will live inside my heart, and
From there we will never part,
Just you wait and see.
Our love will ever be.
Goodbye is not goodbye,
We’re merely given a bye.

Goodbye is not goodbye
When it’s between good friends
Or lovers
It’s only a short parting
Our love is what friends lend
With open heart, no regret

Either way, we both have won the bet.

–H. W. Bryce
