Goodbyes

I don't think I really know how to say goodbye. I've been thinking about that over the past few days and weeks. At times, I think it's best to quietly disappear (and I often do), leaving behind the wake of pleasant and warm memories, rather than making some sort of misguided attempt to be sure that this is the case.

But I never want to leave hard feelings, and certainly no misunderstandings. So I struggle to find the words I want, and put off saying them — and often by the time they come to me I've quietly disappeared, after all.
