farewell

there are people
you know you'll never
see again.
you just know
that this
is a final farewell,
so do they,
but neither of
you mentions that.
instead you say
have a safe flight,
or drive. I'm
glad that you came,
please remember
that you are always
welcome back.
which is enough
said to offer
up a wave
and send you on
your way.
