If

If I seem distant
Or moody
Or unwilling
Or a little cold

If I seem insincere
Or tired
Or grumpy
Or a little anti-social

It's only because I'm avoiding saying goodbye
Or even thinking about saying goodbye.

It's not a forever goodbye,
Just a for now goodbye.

But it's still something I don't want to say
Please don't make me say it.

Let me whisper it at the last moment
With a hug and a tear and a smile.
