You Said Hello Poem by jJO CAREY

In my dreams last night you said hello
In a voice that was as strong as long ago
I awoke with tears in my eyes
Because you never said goodbye

How could I remember how you sound
When there's been so many years in between
But then I remembered that
We never really said goodbye

Am I on your mind as you are sometimes mine
I doubt your thoughts ever drift back to me
Or what we had and how we cared
And how close we came to being together

We were wild and crazy always on the run.
Laugh, fool, laugh was our favorite saying
Except for I love you
And we will last forever..

But we didn't, we let other people play with out minds
And hurt each other deeply with words that were unkind
I didn't mean them, they always tumbled out
When my temper took control.

And you and I, so jealous of each other
Never really trusting when we should
Worrying over things that other people said
Not even knowing if they were true

But all of that was so long, long ago
And all our dreams went wrong
So why now, do I hear you say hello
But never say goodbye.
