When the Good-Byes Were Said

When the good-byes were said
from the harbor of attentions,
you watched her cast off.

And altho the tide did
not immediately take her,
you could see, by the bridge,

she was about-facing a voyage,
in her own water-tight world,
on which you had no passage

and would not be remembered.
You were already forgotten
before she made the open sea
