Is 'Bye' Good? Poem by Charles Nichols

You look at me, You say 'good bye'
I say 'good bye' to You,
And then You ask, 'is bye so good?
Sincere...
Is what we said so true? '

'Is 'bye' good? I do not know,
But ask as You depart,
That I can go along with You,
Just...
A small place in Your heart.'

'Then You must leave! fragment of yours,
I really wish you would,
To keep, until we meet again,
Perhaps......
This kind of 'bye', is good.'
