Now the time has come to say "goodbye." I'll see you in a week or so and call collect to see how things have been. I'm doing fine. You said don't say "goodbye;" it hurts. It's silent as the tears fall from you face. We'll talk about how your day has been and delay conversation just to hear each other's voice one minute more. Just three more days. But I've got three more words I have to say; I hope it gets you thru the week. Don't watch as I drive away. I'll see you soon; it won't be all that bad. I'll be home Friday. Please don't cry when I say goodbye. "Goodbye..."
