About the Poem
This poem describes the mixed feelings of saying goodbye to a very special girl who fired up the feelings of incredible passion. I had hardly had time to live out the dreams and fantasies around her. Then she left for another country, initially for 6 months, and I was heartbroken.
I had not intended going to say goodbye at the airport, as I had already held her and kissed her and given her a card written with all the happy-sad feelings. The morning of her departure I couldn't stand it any longer, fighting the urge to just see her again one last time. I told my boss I was going to see the doctor and headed straight for the airport.

Saying Goodbye |
| by Anthony West |

So soft the brief touch of your lips on my cheek. Was I almost intruding? "Look after yourself " should have been "I love you!" Then the Jumbo flew over my head and I shouted my love above the roar and thundering thrust . . . as if you'd hear. Through the clouds in my eyes I watched you fly away and wished I'd been born with wings. |

Well, I was in the same situation. I went to Germany for 1 year and by saying goodbye to that one special person in my life, was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. Just by seeing his face made me realise that im really leaving but not forever. All that I could say to him was: "Look after yourself".
