break goodbye

Let’s just break  goodbye  in half and
  leave this as  good
Before you say the whole word
Before your lips come together
Before they touch the second syllable
  Let’s leave this as  good
Let’s make that the word because
  that’s what we were
    We were good
      Good together
      Good for each other
      Good at love
And it’s good now to kiss you in the
  middle of such a word and
  not taste
  the end
And it’s good now to hold you
And it’s good not to hear the
  hard thump of that sound
And it’s good that we leave this in
  alternating whispers of

yes, this was good
we were good…
and smile through tears.
