POETRY

Such Sweet Sorrow

I know it’s hard to tell
But I’m really wishing you well;
Even packed a bit of lunch for you
And you can go to — .

Don’t hesitate on my behalf
Cause I’m no longer part of your staff.
If I never hear from you, it’s just too soon,
And it doesn’t even hurt when I laugh.

If
I’m wrong,
I’ll sing a different song.
Parting now is such sweet sorrow.
And yet moving on.

So long.

Look, we’ve come this far
And shared a special star.
But don’t look back for any final wave
Just get your mess in your car.
