I hate goodbyes

Especially when they're said in a rush in the way out the door at 4:30 in the morning.

Especially after heated words the night before.

Especially when you just want a kiss goodbye to know everything's going to be okay.

Especially when you cry yourself back to sleep after the door shuts and you can hear the car pull away.

Whether he's just leaving for the day or for months at a time.

I hate goodbyes.
