Let Us Part Like Strangers Poem by Stella Sisanda Qishi

after years of pining for you
we meet at last
but soon we'll part again
like we did a long time ago
the thought of it alone unsettles me
for i am not good with goodbyes
i hate waving at you
like we'll never meet again
so when the time comes
when you have to leave me... again
let us part like strangers
no kisses, no hugs, no holding hands,
no sobbing, no promises, no goodbyes
and when you're miles away
don't look back
that'll make the burden much lighter
