Why the Goodbye

We used to play together
Two kids in a park
You used to comfort me
And hold my hand
When we played in the dark.

We went to school together
Failing class and chasing boys
You even ripped the heads of
Some of my favourite toys.

I would always tell you everything
But sometimes somethings you'd hide
I never pushed to understand
But I'd hold you as you cried.

And one day when we were talking
You said to me something
That made me sit and wonder
Why you hadn't told me every thing.

And eventually I understood
That you were telling me goodbye
Although I hadn't worked out
Your only reason why.

Then a phone call came and I realised,
Now I sit and cry
You died and I understood
Why you said
GOODBYE
