Partings
by Mark Whybird
Sometimes a part of you
leaves on a plane
And you’re sad in a way
that is hard to explain
‘Cause you know that they’re going
to have a great time
And you know that they’ll only
be gone for a while
But you miss them.
Sometimes a part of you
catches a bus
To work or to school -
so what’s the big fuss?
You know that there’s nothing
to worry about
You know that they love you
without any doubt
But you miss them.
Sometimes a part of you
goes for a walk
And you never suspected
the last time you talked
Was the last that you’d see
of them during their life
And you miss them.
