Saying goodbye to a friend can be very difficult. Close friendships do not happen everyday so it makes sense that saying goodbye to a good friend can be sad and upsetting. There is no way to completely take away the pain you might feel.Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. A man never knows how to say goodbye; a woman never knows when to say it. I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Then we would have to say good-bye. it always has to end with a good bye.
