Please

Until the word is said, 

Nothing can happen. 

Despite the knowledge that 

Eventually it cannot be stopped, 

It isn't real until it is said aloud. 

So say anything at all, 

Talk of the future, of the past, 

Anything at all, 

Just please 

Do not say that word. 

Please don't make it final. 

In a few moments there will be no choice, 

But for now let's pretend 

'Goodbye' does not exist.
