Saying Goodbye



He kisses her goodbye as he tries

To leave the pain of leaving her



And the ongoing traffic of strangers and cars

Watch lovers arm in arm, its called love



He’s wearing his suit and so is she

The white sky dulls them down to a small degree



And the busy lane goes round and round

And him and her, soon mix into the crowd
